Lighting Analysts, Inc. recently announced ElumTools add-in software for Autodesk Revit 2012. This product was recognized in the IES 2011 Progress Report and won best of category for Research, Publications and Software at the LIGHTFAIR 2011 Innovation Awards.
ElumTools is the first fully integrated Revit add-in for calculation and visualization of electric lighting results directly within the Revit environment. To date, users of Autodesk’s Revit software have had very few avenues available for the validation of lighting results for Revit projects. Existing lighting tools within Revit are limited, and export options to 3rd party tools present time-consuming and laborious workflow challenges. With the release of ElumTools 2012, users of Revit (Architecture and MEP 2012 only) can now leverage the architectural geometry and luminaire product data already present in the Revit model to perform point-by-point illuminance for user selected areas. A fully interactive visualization of the selected environment is visible as the lighting calculations progress, and numeric results can be shown in any Revit view.
