By optimizing natural light, architects can design more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings, which is increasingly important in meeting the UK's sustainability goals and reducing carbon footprints.

Daylight assessments are used to evaluate the potential impact of a new building on the access to daylight and sunlight in neighboring properties. This helps avoid legal disputes and ensures that the new development does not negatively affect the quality of life for people in nearby buildings.

Daylight assessments assist architects in designing layouts that make the most of natural light, which can enhance both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the space. This includes positioning windows and rooms to maximize daylight penetration and reduce dark, underlit areas.
