Daylighting Product Development

Daylighting Innovations staff hold several patents on the innovative and award-winning LightLouver daylighting systems and have been involved in the development and refinement of a number of daylight delivery and solar control products over the years. Ranging from optical shelves and skylights to automatic shades and electric lighting controls, we can help optimize and refine your daylighting product and make it shine in the growing marketplace. See examples of the product development support we can provide below.

  • Optical Daylighting Delivery Devices

    Using advanced forward ray-tracing techniques, we design and optimize optical daylight harvesting and delivery systems for both side and top daylighting opportunities. The award-winning LightLouver Daylighting System is our most notable design providing deep and glare-free daylighting from vertical windows.

  • Solar Shading Facades

    We help architects design advanced, yet often still passive, facade systems to control potential glare from sunlight while maximizing daylight usability and views to the outdoors.

  • System BSDF Development

    We can characterize your daylighting system or material, creating Bi-directional Scatter Distribution Function (BSDF) files that allow for fast and accurate simulation in software.

  • Photosensor Analysis and Optimization

    We offer analysis of the spatial and spectral characteristics of photosensors and development guidance for new or custom photosensor designs and control algorithms.
