Naviate Daylight

Naviate Daylight is no longer available to buy and is in end-of-life mode. Our focus going forward will be to help identify and support a new home for these workflows within leading design platforms such as Autodesk Forma Site Design and Autodesk Building Design solutions. We believe these platforms are well positioned to provide the innovation, integration, and long-term development needed to address the evolving needs of the industry.

Customised for architects

Naviate Daylight automates daylight requirements checking based on several local standards, reducing the time needed for manual checking and documenting. Daylight is integrated within Revit, saving all data in Revit environment and removing the need to export/import data — and reducing the risk of data loss. There are also various visualization and reporting functionalities available for creating reference and presentation content.

Calculate daylight performance

Naviate Daylight gives a quick overview of how much daylight each room has. Daylight gives you complete insight into your building performance by calculating the given Window-to-Floor and Window-to-Wall ratios, then analyzing material properties and surrounding objects, and ultimately calculating Daylight Factor values.
