Reflection analysis provides a more comprehensive vision of the different brightness and flash patterns that are generated when the radiation rebounds off the surfaces of the materials in a specific environment.

This analysis defines the building's façade design, taking into account the way the light strikes it and nearby constructions (swimming pools, parking lots, streets).

By using reflection analysis, it is possible to calculate the effects of the solar reflections as well as the shadows. Through the simulation of a sun-path diagram you can obtain the potential solar reflection at any selected point of a building. This aspect is vital when selecting the location for a photovoltaic installation and the technology of the photovoltaic panels employed.

In the majority of occasions it is advantageous to perform a reflection study of nearby buildings to check their impact on the project that is being studied particularly. The data obtained will be critical for defining the shape, structure and orientation of the new project.
