Description: Radiance is a free and open source lighting software that is used in the analysis and visualization of solar control, lighting, and daylighting design. This technology has no limitations on the geometry or the materials that may be simulated. Scene geometry, materials, luminaires, time, date, and sky conditions (for daylight calculations) are specified. Additionally, spectral radiance (luminance + color), irradiance (illuminance + color), and glare indices are calculated. Simulation results may be displayed as color images, numerical values, and contour plots.
