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

Sunscape® Map Use Cases
Use Sunscape map images as model overlays and use sun exposure to help guide the layout process.
Add an object, create a Sunscape map to observe sun exposure on the object and the effect of the object’s shadow on surrounding areas.
Simultaneously create morning, afternoon, and full day Sunscape maps to identify the perfect location for plants, areas, and objects, with the right sun exposure at the right time.
