Otaniemi Virtual Lighting Designer

City of Espoo and Aalto University commissioned this Virtual Lighting Designer project to study the use of digital city models in lighting design. Our solution utilizes Unity engine’s latest lighting features, such as direct use of IES files, which enables us to produce physically correct results, including both photometric light emission and energy calculations. The project is built around the Aalto University’s future campus area model.

Use cases:

• creation and modification of different street lighting designs in real-time
• presentation and assessment of different lighting designs
• energy consumption calculation and comparison for different lighting solutions
