Solatube International Inc., announced its new Solatube Design Calculator 2.0, the commercial industry’s first cloud-based daylighting design analysis tool for advanced daylighting systems. It gives Solatube Certified Commercial Distributors the ability to create in-depth specifications and plans for any commercial daylighting project using Solatube products.
The Solatube Design Calculator 2.0, goes well beyond what other calculation and evaluation tools can do. It instantly handles complex calculations that would normally take hours to do manually. It also delivers the most comprehensive results of any tool, provides multiple ways to view the data and is the first to support LEED Version 4.0. The Design Calculator 2.0 creates the most accurate and detailed daylighting plans, making daylighting design even easier for architects to specify into their projects.
