ElumTools
Add-in for lighting calculation in Revit
Definition
ElumTools® is the first (and only) fully integrated lighting calculation add-in for Autodesk® Revit®. ElumTools is designed to calculate point-by-point illuminance on any workplane or surface utilizing lighting fixture families and surface geometry already present in the Revit model. ElumTools runs completely inside of Revit with its own ribbon toolbar to provide quick access to analysis tools for Revit Rooms, Spaces, Regions and Views. An interactive Radiosity-based visualization is produced by the calculation process providing designers complete walk-through capability to assist in the understanding the interaction of light and surface.
In Depth
ElumTools is a Revit plugin for lighting analysis — calculating illumination levels directly from the Revit model's lighting fixtures and room geometry. AI can extend the analysis by optimizing fixture selection and layout to meet illumination targets while minimizing power density.
