Solar Reflectivity Analysis

When designing the exterior of a building, most of the attention is paid to the sun rays coming into building.  But what about the sun rays that reflect off the building?  Do you know the location or the intensity of the sun rays and how it will impact its surrounding areas?
 
                
 
Until now, knowing exactly how the sun will reflect off a building has been, at best, GRAY.
 
• With CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations, CDC can determine whether or not, the reflected glare is going to be a problem for motorists, pedestrians and adjacent buildings.
 
• The simulation is prepared for the whole year in order to identify potential days, hours, and even minutes in an identified day.
 
• With this information, CDC can help designers in finding alternates and solutions to control any glare problem.
 
• From this study we can also obtain additional information such as: path of the solar reflections, glare intensity, shadowing and solar data.
                                          
• The study can be executed on isolated buildings or target buildings including its surroundings.
 
                              
 
CDC can now predict, quantify and assist in the design of how the building will react to the sun. CDC can model how the sun reflects off any building, built anywhere, and show the effects and intensity on the surrounding areas.
