The ADELINE Design Process: Simplified Analysis (SUPERLITE)



SUPERLITE produces results such as illumination levels, or daylight factors on the work plane, either with natural or electric lighting.

The numerical models ot the buildings to be tested have to be made with no more than 100 parallelograms.

Surfaces are assumed to be black and white (colour is not taken into account).

These limitations, combined with a simplified calculation method (radiosity), allow results to be obtained with very short processing times (less than 5 min), and lead to relevant preliminary choices in the early design process.
