The Ambient Brightness Analytics feature evaluates the distribution of light across the layout by analyzing window placement, its’ projection, and internal partition materiality. This feature provides insights into how brightness varies across the floor plan.
Key Metrics Explained
Brightness Intensity
Simulated light projection from windows is calculated for each pixel on the floor plan, considering:
Transparent partitions (e.g., glass) that allow higher light transmission.
Opaque partitions (e.g., drywall) that block or reduce light.
Brightness Categories
Workspaces and floor areas are categorized into:
Optimal brightness: Ideal for productivity and well-being.
Moderate brightness: Adequate but not ideal.
Low brightness This may negatively affect comfort and visibility.
Aggregate Brightness Metrics
Percentage of the floor with optimal brightness.
Percentage of employee seats falling into each brightness category.
Visual Representations
Heatmap Overlay:
Displays brightness intensity across the floor plan:
Cool colors represent high brightness levels.
Warm colors represent low brightness levels.
Why These Metrics Matter
Enables data-driven decision-making
Provides a better understanding of the design layout
Provides actionable insights for layout optimization and design improvements.
