Modeling glazing can be essential to accurate lighting simulation, but elements such as curtain walls, glass wall partitions, and windows do not significantly interact with light in
Unlike other common architectural materials, the reflection from transparent glass may be omitted in typical lighting simulation. This is because smooth glass reflects light in
Vela Photometrics uses light reflectance values (LRVs) of 80% for ceilings, 50% for walls, and 20% for floors unless any other material details have been
Spaces are illuminated not only directly by light sources, but also by indirect light reflected off of objects. Additionally, many spaces are illuminated by light
A well-thought-out emergency egress lighting plan is an essential component of creating a safe indoor space and is usually a building code requirement. Direct Light
Understanding the different types of photoreceptors in the eye and how they process light helps distinguish traditional focuses in lighting design from emerging trends in
