Real-time spatial daylighting analysis for a 3D geometric structure

摘要

Various embodiments provide systems and methods enabling a user to receive feedback regarding a computer-implemented design of an architectural structure as the user is designing or otherwise modifying the computer-implemented design using a computer-aided design (CAD) software tool. The feedback (hereafter also referred to as “design feedback”) may provide the user with useful analysis information regarding the architectural structure's predicted characteristics (e.g., operational performance, resource consumption, cost, etc.) based on the current state of the computer-implemented design. In particular, daylighting analyses pertinent to the computer-implemented design of the architectural structure can be visually displayed to the user in real or near-real-time.
