This Sketchup extension allows to calculate, for a given period of time, the number of hours during which the direct sunrays hit the surfaces of a Sketchup model.
SunExposure is based on EPW climatic files that are also used in many thermal simulation tools.
Unlike simple shadow visualization, SunExposure takes into account the climatic data of the site and calculates for a whole period of time the daily average or total exposure to sunrays.
In a matter of minutes, you can know easily if the sun hits your facade 1 hour per day or 5 hours per day taking into account your protections and the climate of the site.

Our thanks to the architecture agencies Laisné Roussel and Air Architectures to have allowed us to use 3D models of their projects for this video.
