As urban areas grow denser, precise daylight and sunlight assessments are essential for responsible land development that maximises asset value while creating sustainable spaces that benefit society.
Using advanced climate-based modelling, we provide thorough analyses of daylight, sunlight, and overshadowing impacts, delivering robust reports that support planning applications. With over 40 years of expertise in Ireland and the UK, we remain at the forefront of evolving policies and uphold the highest industry standards, making us a trusted partner in this field.
Daylight & sunlight
DPR now offers comprehensive Photovoltaic (PV) panel assessments to evaluate the impact of new developments on the performance of existing solar panels. We provide detailed energy production estimates and payback cost analyses for intergrating PV systems into any enviroment. This specialist service is tailored to support developers, local governments, and assess owners.
Our PV solutions are scalable, suitable for small sites, large master plans, and even town or city wide environments.
Solar Photovoltaics
We support our clients in assessing the viability of their schemes through detailed testing and modelling that accurately visualises the maximum building envelope. Using advanced specialist software, we unlock potential by analysing rights of light, sunlight, daylight, photovoltaics (PV), and overshadowing impacts on both developments and neighbouring buildings.
We also offer early-stage wind analysis, helping clients detect and address issues from the outset. By identifying constraints and opportunities early, we enable design teams to shape a solid, deliverable strategy from the ground up.
Rapid Site Appraisal
Successful projects rely on having full, up-to-date records of existing site conditions. The more complex the scheme, the greater the need for an efficient response with accurate information.
Using the latest laser scanning and GPS technology, we can provide 2D topographical survey plans, sections and elevations, boundary surveys, and 3D survey data and imagery for rights of light, and daylight and sunlight monitoring, often reaching otherwise inaccessible areas. In doing so, we unlock opportunities.
