Cain CAD provides daylight availability analysis typically for new construction during the concept or schematic design phase. A daylight availability analysis is a study conducted to assess the amount and distribution of natural daylight within a space or building. This analysis considers factors such as the position of windows, the orientation of the building, and potential obstructions that may affect the penetration of daylight. The goal is to determine how well a space is illuminated by natural light throughout the day and across seasons.

Architects, builders, engineers, and owners use this information to optimize the design of spaces, ensuring sufficient and well-distributed daylight, which can enhance visual comfort, reduce energy consumption, and contribute to a more sustainable and pleasant indoor environment.
