Empowering Sustainable Landscape Decisions
Sunscape™ sun exposure maps make sustainable landscape planning easier.
The smart and easy-to-use Sunscape applications display cumulative sun exposure on 3D model surfaces. Sunscape maps transform the way we design outdoor spaces, providing precise sun exposure for fact-driven landscape planning decisions. Sunscape applications create cumulative sun exposure for any daytime span and any date range.
Use Sunscape maps to find the right plants for a place, and the right place for planting areas and outdoor living and recreational areas that provide the right sun exposure at the right time. When we work with nature, nature works for us.
