Glare is a fact of life. All of us certainly know it when we see it and it reduces our performance considerably. We use a unique parametric processes allowing designers to alter their design with multiple iterations to test for daylight associated with each iteration.​Pattern r+d uses a rapid feedback methodology to give designers feedback regarding energy, daylight, glare, comfort and more when it would make the most difference.

Typical Services

Point in time Glare analysis \ Design Phase – Pre design, Concept Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation

This study shows a middle school project where the design team proposed a computer lab overlooking a courtyard space with floor to ceiling glazing. This glare analysis was used to study the amount of glare that the students will undergo in the computer lab and mitigation techniques.

This study took 10 hours to complete

Yearly Glare analysis \ Design Phase – Pre design, Concept Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation

 This study shows the daylight glare probability of an atrium space in an office building n Dallas. 

This study took  5  hours to complete. 2

 

These are only a few Typical services, but we understand that different projects need different analysis for decision making. Contact us to discuss your specific project, so we can generate the most cost effective analysis for you.
