Extending the use of existing CAD software to enable visualization of solar penetration in complex building forms

Currently available computer-aided design (CAD) software packages used by architects and designers are limited in their ability to provide visual images of solar penetration into complex building forms. However, in order to better design for thermal impact, it would be helpful for professionals and...
