FlucsDL
Offers the daylighting only capabilities of FlucsPro, allowing you to perform point-by-point analysis to determine daylighting levels within a room, or group of rooms.
- Investigate Indoor daylighting conditions across any number of rooms
- Determine Daylight Factors & Light Levels
- Compare against LEED, BREEAM and other industry thresholds
- Produce images of daylight levels, daylight factors and threshold analyses
FlucsDL is a daylighting analysis tool within the IES VE suite. It is differentiated from FlucsPro by only considering daylighting and not artificial lighting analysis. The application allows you to quickly and easily perform daylighting analysis using only 5 key stages:
- Select the room or group of rooms to analyse
- Set the reflectance values for the room surfaces
- Set the analysis options and perform point-by-point calculations
- Review your results – either as Daylight Factor or Lighting Level values
- Define which threshold you want to test against
Data Entry Options
- Analysis scope defined by selected room or group of rooms
- Reflectance values defined for room surfaces
- Task areas can be defined within room surfaces or working planes
- Working plane heights can be set
- Calculation grid size can be adjusted
Analysis Options
- User defined thresholds or benchmarks
- Illuminance or Luminance
- Horizontal, vertical or semi-cylindrical illuminance
- Default daylight zenith luminance for a CIE standard overcast sky
- Inter-reflection calculations can be turned on (choice of simple average value or full progressive radiosity) or turned off
- Optional use of shading surfaces: adjacent buildings, topographical shades, local shades
- Define the daylight threshold you want to test against if required
Output Options
- 3D model visualisation of Light Level plots
- Select rooms to display
- Select room surfaces, working planes and task areas to display
- Display as contour lines, false colour, threshold or as grey-shaded grid cells
- Foot Candle or Lux options
- 3D model visualisation of Daylight Factor plots
- Select rooms to display
- Select room surfaces, working planes and task areas to display
- Display as contour lines, false colour, threshold or as grey-shaded grid cells
- Display of Light Levels and Daylight Factors can be toggled independently
- Summary Table showing minimum, maximum and average levels, plus uniformity and diversity information
- Threshold Table showing individual room threshold levels and building area-weighted % above threshold
- Results easily exported, copied or printed for use in client reports
