The study of daylighting and its associated benefits has increased our understanding of the relationships between comfort, health and efficiency. This understanding enables us to set improved standards for the conditions that we create within our buildings and the ability to predict these conditions to enable the design of the integration of the total environment and the building as a whole.

Of the many aspects that must be considered, the visual environment is one of the more important and its design is a balancing process- not too little, not too much. Illumination levels and luminance contrast must be high enough for the efficient performance of a task but not so high as to cause glare.

The environmental conditions effecting the comfort of building occupants vary uniquely from building to building and therefore there is no one ?magic' formula for all cases. The daylighting analysis required for each project involves the study and modelling of the building, its orientation and its surrounds including other buildings and obstructions. The shape, performance and position of physical external and internal shading devices and performance of the window system are further vital ingredients in the analysis.

The studies listed below illustrate some of the projects where we carried out both Daylighting and solar Control analysis.
• Westfield Southland Highway Bridge - Glass Reflection Study
• Eureka Towers Southbank - Reflection & Glare Study
• Rialto Melbourne - Glare Study
• DIMIA - Reflectivity and Glare Study Canberra
• 50 Lonsdale Street Melbourne - Glare Study
