[BLDG-SIM] Exterior shading

[vlado@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Vladimir Bazjanac)]

Jan,

Try LBNL's Radiance for precise quantitative analysis.  Try Kinetix' 3D Studio
Viz for visualization of building exterior.  The corresponding URLs are:

>> Hello all subscribers,
>> 
>> We are looking for software which can show (calculate) the outside
>> shading properties of buildings.
>> 
>> Example: in a town sometimes buildings are located close together
>> whereby the shading of one building reduces the daylight properties of
>> rooms in another building
>> 
>> Does someone know the existance of such software?
>> Please inform me
>> 
>> Thanks
