LIGHTSTANZA

LightStanza is a startup based in Boulder, Colorado that makes the software LightStanza, a web application for daylight simulations. Light regulates the way they eat, sleep, live, work and play. Yet in design, daylighting is often overlooked, and almost always oversimplified. It is either misunderstood or under-utilized, both as a dynamic spatial element of a room, and in the overall energy efficiency of a building. Their founder set out to create a best-in-class daylight tool that everyone ca... n use. Therefore, LightStanza is unique in its focus on daylighting as a piece of the green building puzzle. They know that daylight can’t be represented by a single number, so they offer several analysis options, each of which tells a different piece of the story. They address daylight alone so that they can get it right. They compute annual metrics, offer space-by-space scores for the LEED Daylight Credit, pinpoint areas of potential glare, and more, all with the precision and accuracy that only a focused tool can offer. They are not about developing “green” software, but about bringing awareness to a troubled environment by looking at light.More
