It uses Sketchup to prepare the inputs necessary for daylight analysis in Daysim, and then displays within Sketchup the datasets generated from this analysis. Optimizing the use of daylight is a crucial tool for creating buildings that are more energy efficient and occupant friendly. Well-designed natural lighting systems provide occupants with views and ample natural working light, protect occupants from excessive direct sunlight, and admit solar thermal gains only when beneficial. The type of analysis su2ds makes possible greatly facilitates the achievement of these objectives. The primary goal of su2ds was making this analysis as easy as possible for the user. The project is meant to take daylight simulation out of the hands of experts and make it available to anyone who has a stake in the design or operation of buildings: facility managers, occupants, planners, or even curious homeowners (or potential homeowners). The program’s features have been developed with this in mind, and a comprehensive manual with a guided tutorial is provided on the project website to help acquaint users with the daylight analysis process. Also contributing to accessibility is cost: su2ds and its companion programs are all available free of charge (which is somewhat rare for engineering analysis software). Su2ds is ultimately intended to improve the design and energy efficiency of our buildings by making daylight analysis more accessible. This will, it is hoped, be part of the Way We Green, and contribute to making Edmonton an environmental leader. This project is open source, and incorporates code from several other open source projects. Source code is available on the project website.</Description><Facets><Facet Name="Datasets"><String Value="Unknown" /></Facet><Facet Name="Author"><String Value="Josh Kjenner" /></Facet><Facet Name="Contest URL"><Link Name="Vote now!"

The program uses a simple, functional interface to illustrate the social dimension not normally captured by otherwise basic spatial data. Everyone from small business owners to newcomers to Edmonton to seasoned city planners will appreciate Metroview’s ability to meaningfully display important demographic data with a few quick clicks. Metroview uses a simple yet functional interface to maximize program utility and speed. Curated data lists ensure that the program remains accessible and provides clear value to all potential users. Ability to export data to PDF ensures those data visualizations are readily available whenever they’re needed. Metroview advances a number of the City of Edmonton’s strategic priorities. Social agencies and city staff involved in implementing Edmonton’s ‘people plan’ The Way We Live, will benefit from easy access to information about the relative age and household income levels of Edmonton’s neighborhoods. Planners can use this program to better communicate their decisions by providing members of public and community leagues with the ability to become more informed by independently accessing understandable displays of information for a given development’s neighbourhood including percentage of home ownership and relative age of inhabitants, for example (The Way We Plan). Small business owners targeting specific segments of Edmonton’s population can use Metroview to facilitate strategic decision-making, making it much more likely that they and in turn the City will prosper over the long-term (The Way We Prosper). Metroview will grow as more datasets become available through the City of Edmonton’s Open Data Initiative. Metroview is an open source program and uses contributions from several other open source programs.
