Upload your IFC model. ArchiLume quantifies solar access to every habitable room and open space and produces compliance reports accepted by planning authorities in Western Australia and New South Wales.
Why ArchiLume
Every aspect of ArchiLume is built around the precision planning authorities require.
Physically accurate lighting simulation using the Radiance standard developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and trusted by practitioners worldwide.
ArchiLume reads floor finish materials directly from your IFC model to calculate surface reflectance, producing more accurate results than tools that ignore material data entirely.
Reports meet R Codes (WA) and Housing SEPP / Apartment Design Guide (NSW) solar access requirements, accepted by planning authorities in both states.
Receive a formatted PDF compliance report for every analysis run, produced to the precision and presentation standard required for development application submissions.
Your IFC models and reports are stored in a private, encrypted workspace. No other user can ever access your files or project data.
Every analysis you run is saved to your account. Revisit past projects, redownload reports, and track all work across your practice in one place.
