Spatial Visibility Analysis
Access to Views
Providing a space with ample amounts of glazing can provide access to views to the exterior environment. However this additional glazing can negatively impact energy performance as well as occupant comfort. Conducting analysis that determines which glazing is most effective at providing access to views can help increase a building’s energy performance while lowering initial capital costs. The analysis shows areas that have access to views in orange and yellow. Areas in blue have no access to views.
Views Through Specific Glazing
Analyzing each glazing element for view contribution can be an effective way to eliminate inappropriate glazing, reduce capital costs and improve energy performance. Areas in orange to yellow have access to views through the selected glazing element. Areas in blue do not have access to views through the selected glazing.
