LiVi Compliance Analysis

A LiVi Compliance analysis checks the calculated lighting performance against some common lighting standards. Standards implemented so far are the Building Research Establishments Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) and the Code for Sustainable Homes. The process of doing a compliance analysis is very similar to a Basic LiVi analysis, but requires a LiVi Compliance node instead of a LiVi Basic node. Typical node layout is shown below.

The main difference compared to a basic LiVi analysis is during results visualisation where a compliance panel can be overlaid onto Blender’s 3D view. This compliance panel shows details about the target metrics required to gain compliance, the actual metrics calculated for the space and gives an estimate of overall compliance and credits gained based on the spaces simulated.
A short video showing the process of doing a compliance analysis can be watched below.
