Let There Be Light: Lighting Analysis with Insight 360 for Revit
Synopsis:
Direct daylight access is a great way to determine if a space is achieving enough daylight throughout the day. Lighting analysis for Revit has been integrated into the Insight 360 plugin for Revit. Learn how to use it to get the right information at the right time to meet specific solar access standards.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the requirements for direct daylight access in New South Wales (SEPP 65)
2. Get to know the capabilities and limitations of different software applications for lighting analysis
3. Learn the steps that need to be taken when using Insight 360 for Lighting analysis
Body:
Direct daylight access is a great way to determine if a space is achieving enough daylight throughout the day. Also referred to as direct solar access, the NSW State Environmental Planning Policy No 65 and Apartment Design Guide are requiring new buildings to meet specific solar access standards.
Lighting analysis for Revit has been integrated into the Insight 360 plugin. It allows you to select any date and time, to specify your analysis plane, and a threshold. A schedule is also automatically generated, so you can dive into your results and use them for documentation purposes.
This class covers the implementation of Insight 360 at HDR, using one of our residential projects as a case study. See which other tools and workflows we reviewed in comparison with Insight 360 – what work, what didn?t and why?
We will examine what is required to implement the latest Insight 360 plugin within a project and how you can use it to get the right information at the right time to meet specific solar access standards. Overall, this class is designed to assist you in implementing Insight 350 for your project.
