The firm uses the tool for architectural lighting design used for green building certification, reports, and consultations. United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) uses a powerful robotic heliodon made by betanit.com inside a full-dome artificial sky to evaluate daylighting of scale models with great accuracy. The heliodon is powered by a 1200W HMI lamp with a custom-designed optical setup able to reproduce a range of 200,000 lx to 600,000 lx on the table supporting the scale model. The robotic heliodon with the artificial sky is used for research purposes in sustainable building design and technology. Heliodon in Lighting Handbook Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) publishes a lighting handbook that features the heliodon as one of the tools used for the evaluation of daylighting design. The handbook is a globally well-known reference and a guide to allow lighting professionals and practitioners to understand the impact of light on human health and promote sustainability through efficient lighting study and design. The heliodon is featured in the handbook as a lighting software tool that is used to study daylighting performance for physical scale models. It is generally used by architects and engineers.
