Modeling solar reflection on building facade

[DavidS]

Hello,

For a project in Paris, our client wants to know if we could estimate the impact of the future building on the surrounding buildings.
The shape of the building is very specific and we are afraid of similar consequences that happened in London with 20 Fenchurch Street (concentration of solar reflection on a specific spot on the pavement).
The question is: is there any way to assess the risks of solar reflection from the building facade onto the surroundings?

Many thanks in advance for your reply,

David

Hi David

No the VE wont give you the output related to reflected sunlight. Being a building sim software, it only accounts for the solar heat gains on the building.
