Part of our suite of Energy/Feasibility Reporting Services, Glint and Glare Analysis is an assessment of any visual hazard that a building might pose with respect to light-sensitive receptors. It is typically used in the case of solar (photovoltaic) developments and buildings with reflective surfaces.
Integrated Computer Simulation
Integrated computer simulation (IES) software is used to model the building. We can find glare issues and provide guidance to avoid them externally for pedestrians and traffic, and internally for the building user’s comfort.
Glint and Glare Analysis can be carried out during the concept, design, and planning stage and with the result of the analysis depending on building orientation, massing, and neighbouring properties.
Our sustainability team prepares glint and glare assessments to support you in the building permit process and answer all questions regarding solar glaring.
