We provide professional services to create Shadow maps

We provide professional services to create Shadow maps/ shadow diagrams for your project/building.

The Diagrams simulate the path of the sun and the main seasonal wind directions to help architects zone amenities in the master plan and create a more sustainable design and green architecture

 Show the impact of adjacent buildings by simulating their shadows across key moments.

What is a shadow Maps?

20231025 MARCH copy

Shadow maps are a planning submission requirement that provides a visual model of how the proposed development will cast its shadow. Further, the shadow analysis will demonstrate any potential impacts on shadow sensitive areas, such as public spaces, communal amenity areas, traditional and arterial main streets and residential private outdoor amenity areas and how these impacts can be mitigated.

The diagrams form part of the assessment process to ensure the amenity of surrounding properties is protected to an appropriate standard.

Shadow maps are typically presented in Top down Birds Eye view of the development, however with our digital technology we can provide you with much more.

Why Shadow Maps?

SUNLIGHT RESPONSE

By learning in detail how your project responds to sunlight, you can:

  1. Improve operating efficiency and occupant comfort
  2. Avoid (or mitigate) dangerous or adverse conditions such as glare and shadow
  3. Optimize your strategies for solar power generation

BETTER DESIGN OUTCOMES

Help architects and interior designers to create a more sustainable design and green architecture by simulating daylight and sun impact on a project.

DAILY LIFE IMPACTS

Sunlight and shadows affect people and their use of open space all day long and throughout the year, although the effects vary by season. Sunlight can entice outdoor activities, support vegetation, and enhance architectural features, such as stained glass windows and carved detail on historic structures. Conversely, shadows can affect the growth cycle and sustainability of natural features and the architectural significance of built features.

COMPLIANCE

Shadow studies can be done to identify when and how much a particular structure will be shading another. They are also useful to determine how much a proposed adjacent building will shade an existing.

Why choose FebHouse?

At Febhouse we take pride in helping our clients and their project achieve their full potential. With this service we are able to provide you with the world’s leading spatial technology for incredible looking models.  You can learn more about us at Febhouse.com

How are Shadow Maps Created?

Develop 3D Models

To begin the project, using a computer aided design (CAD) software, we will create a 3D model of your project and any necessary adjacent buildings.

Context Map

We have access to the highest quality spatial data. This allows us to place your building within its real world context and create your shadow diagrams with incredible accuracy.

Shadow Simulation

Once all models are together we will use building information modeling (BIM) software to begin simulations to show the expected shadows cast by the Development proposal for 9am, 12 noon and 3pm at both winter and summer solstice (unless requested otherwise).

Final Report

On completion of all simulations we are able to provide a diagrammatic analysis with basic commentary of the shadow impacts that your development will create.

shadow map- summer

How long does it take to create a Shadow Maps?

The time it takes for us to complete your project is dependent on the size of the project that needs to be modelled. Small projects can be modelled in minimum 5-6 hours with a 2-3 days turn around from quote to completion. 

How much does it cost?

The cost for Shadow Maps depends on the size and complexity of the project, depending on the amount of time that is required to fully model and assess the building. But usually the price will range from $30-50$.

[ Frequently Asked Questions ]

Most frequent questions and answers

Why place an order with you via Fiverr

To ensure work goes smoothly and fairly for both sellers and buyers. I recommend that you work through a reputable intermediary site, Fiverr. Or if you are my customer, trust me, you can email me to place an order. Price will be reduced by 20%.

Do you send me the source file?

I can send you Photoshop file, Sketchup file.

What days do you need to do the project?

Usually I need 2 days, if you need it urgently I can finish it for you in 24 hours

Would you keep my work a private from you? (I don't want my neighbors to see)

Sure, if that’s necessary for you. I will not publish the project on my portfolio

What data do you need from me?

I need the coordinates of the location to be studied (may not need to be too precise R<100km) and a drawing with the dimensions of house/building to be studied.

I don't have a 3D model of my house, can you analyze it?

Yes, you can choose the standard/ premium plan. And send me 2D drawing with your house dimensions. I’ll do 3D modelling and then analyze them.

I already have a 3D model of my house so can I choose the basic package (analysis only) is it ok?

That package is very good, Basic (analysis only) package is for you. That package has everything you need. The standard/premium package is a package that integrates modelling 3D your house and surrounding neighbors.

There are some special standards in my locality, (for example in the UK there is a 45 degree angle standard) can you add to the diagram?

Of course there is. Please send that rule to me, I will try to add it to the diagram
