LID Consulting provides daylight assessments for all development types across Australia.
Our ESD consultants work with architects, planners, project managers and developers to improve internal daylight amenity, support planning approvals, and reduce redesign risk early in the design process.
Well-designed daylight outcomes can improve resident comfort, building performance and property value, while helping developments meet council planning requirements and ResCode standards.
We provide:
- Early-stage design advice to improve compliance outcomes
- Daylight assessments and analysis
- Daylight modelling from PDF or CAD plans using 3D analysis tools
- ResCode daylight compliance assessments
- Non-compliant design justification and planning support
- Sunlight access and overshadowing assessments
Our team can prepare straightforward deemed-to-satisfy assessments or detailed daylight modelling for more complex developments. We also assist project teams in demonstrating that alternative design responses achieve acceptable daylight outcomes, even where proposals vary from standard planning controls.
“LID Consulting provided technical Daylight Assessment input, that greatly guided and informed the preparation of built form recommendations. [They] were highly professional and regularly produced quality technical outputs within constrained time frames … The technical reports were written in plain English …. their work added robust support and value to the project recommendations and their input and expertise provided during client meetings was invaluable. It was a pleasure to work with LID Consulting and I would highly recommend their team of ESD Consultants”
