Purpose and goal
The project aims to develop and validate LUX – an ML-based tool enabling real-time evaluation of building daylight performance in Revit, following Swedish standards. The tool targets large architectural and engineering firms. The project complements an open web platform for smaller companies, developed with support from Belysningsstiftelsen. Future modules will address energy, climate impact, and other Nordic standards. Developed in collaboration with LINK Arkitektur, White, Ramboll and others.
Expected effects and result
The project is expected to result in a validated prototype of LUX, a Revit plugin that adds advanced functionality to the open web platform’s core module. New features include support for custom material parameters (reflectance, transmittance), integration within Revit, and daylight metrics aligned with Norwegian and Danish standards. The project also evaluates simultaneous analysis of entire floors or building models, along with automated reporting to streamline the design process.
Planned approach and implementation
The project will be carried out in three phases: (1) development of the core module for LUX and its integration into Revit, (2) implementation of advanced functions such as material management and simultaneous analysis, and (3) testing and validation together with pilot users. The work will follow an agile process with continuous feedback from architectural firms, focusing on usability and performance.
