Our objective is to ensure sufficient, uninterrupted supply of daylight and artificial light in all interior areas in constant use. Visual comfort forms the basis of general well-being and efficient, productive work. Natural light has a positive effect on the mental and physical health of humans. In addition, good use of daylight provides a great deal of potential energy savings in terms of artificial light and cooling.
User satisfaction is closely linked to feelings of comfort and well-being. Forecasts providing users with information regarding daylight hours, their surroundings, weather conditions, etc. are highly important in this regard. Visual comfort strongly affects user productivity and satisfaction.
