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

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

All objects reflect light but they do so in different ways and amounts. When designing light plans and using simulation software, it’s important to understand

As the industry increasingly uses comprehensive BIM solutions such as Revit and Archicad, there are growing advantages to having accurate 3D models of installation components

While lighting simulation software may be a relatively new tool in the field of lighting design, lighting designers realized from early on that being able
