EN 17037 provides a framework for evaluating daylight performance in buildings to ensure adequate daylight access, visual comfort, and occupant well-being. Our service delivers simulation-based daylight assessments to verify compliance with EN 17037.
Key deliverables include daylight simulation models, daylight autonomy calculations, glare and sunlight exposure evaluations, and compliance documentation aligned with the standard’s requirements. These analyses help project teams validate daylight performance, optimize façade design and glazing strategies, and demonstrate that the building meets the required daylight quality thresholds.

EN 17037 daylight compliance analysis uses advanced daylight simulations to quantify indoor daylight performance and visual comfort conditions.
- Daylight Availability Metrics: Quantifies daylight factor and daylight autonomy across occupied spaces.
- Sunlight Access Evaluation: Assesses access to direct sunlight and outdoor views for occupant well-being.
- Glare Risk Identification: Detects areas prone to visual discomfort and supports façade optimization strategies.
- Design Optimization Insights: Helps refine glazing ratios, shading devices, and façade orientation.
- Compliance Documentation: Provides simulation-backed reports required for international daylight standards.
What does EN 17037 evaluate in a building?
EN 17037 evaluates daylight availability, sunlight exposure, view quality, and glare risk to ensure that indoor environments provide adequate natural lighting and visual comfort.
How is daylight performance assessed under EN 17037?
The assessment is typically conducted through dynamic daylight simulations that calculate daylight factor, daylight autonomy, and sunlight exposure metrics within occupied spaces.
Can EN 17037 analysis influence architectural design decisions?
Yes. The analysis helps architects optimize façade design, glazing ratios, shading devices, and building orientation to improve daylight access and visual comfort.
