Accurate Radiosity Calculations

Achieve realistic and reliable lighting predictions with ElumTools’ advanced radiosity calculation engine. This industry-standard method meticulously accounts for the interreflection of light between surfaces, providing a true representation of light distribution in interior spaces, especially those featuring indirect lighting or complex architectural forms. For faster analysis in specific scenarios, ElumTools also offers a Direct Light Only mode, ensuring versatility for various project needs.

Analyze Lighting Performance Directly in Your Revit Model

ElumTools empowers you to perform detailed lighting analysis on a variety of surfaces and within specific areas of your Revit project. Calculate illuminance levels on workplanes, floors, walls, and even irregular geometries. Define your analysis by Revit Rooms, Spaces, Regions, or selected 3D elements, focusing precisely on the areas that matter most. Visualize the results directly within your Revit views, gaining immediate insight into your design’s performance.
