Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing Analysis

Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing Analysis

What is Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing Analysis?

Cities are becoming taller and with that comes a need to understand the impacts this has on the natural light received by surrounding buildings of a proposed development and the natural daylight levels the development itself achieves.

We understand that the levels of natural daylight received by occupants greatly impacts their health and wellbeing and so it is important to assess prospective developments against defined criteria to lessen impact.
