Description

Reflection analysis helps in understanding the glare-pattern on the site. This helps in designing the facade of the property with an understanding of its implications to nearby locations (e.g. pools, parking, roads). Using reflection analysis, it is possible to calculate and display the effects of reflections in the same way as shadows. Using a sun-path diagram, the entire annual potential for reflections at the selected focus point on a building can be obtained at any given point.

Inputs

The typical inputs required to undertake the analysis are:

Site Plan
Floor Plan
Roof Plan
Elevations
Fenestration Schedule and Properties
Weather data
Building Model
Building Material Properties
Aerial image of building along with adjacent structures

Outputs

The typical outputs generated from the analysis are graphical representations of the times during which the object of analysis will be in the point of reflection and glare.

Tools & Approach

Autodesk Ecotect, version 5.6

Relationship to LEED^® Credits

None directly.

Consulting Support

If specific parameters are of interest then, various iterations of design can be provided with support design decisions.
