 Computing

• SCIA ("Shading Computation In Architecture"),  to draw solar shadows cast from/upon various solid surfaces.
• OSCAR ("Openings Shading Computation And Representation"), for the hourly calculation of a "shading coefficient" provided by shading devices, plus the animated display of shadows on the elevation & in the interior of the building.
• GRIC ("Global Radiation Incidence Computation"), for the calculation of the hourly solar irradiance -direct, diffuse, reflected- according to time, latitude, slope & orientation, with application on various geometric shapes.
• PROS ("Perspective Representation Of Shapes"), for the construction, transformation & display of solid primitives.
• Method 5005, for the calculation of solar gains, according to the "Method 5000" algorithm.
• Sunpath, to draw solar charts, stereographic or Cartesian.
