How to verify window area compliance with your AI

Connect your architectural data to your AI client. Your agent then handles the math and the compliance checks for you.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI check if my windows meet lighting codes?

Yes. Your agent uses the Natural Light Estimator to compare window dimensions against floor area and classifies the results. You'll get a clear list of which rooms pass or fail lighting standards.

Compliance outcomes.

Where every issue lands.

The AI sorts your data into these specific categories based on the lighting math.

PASS

Compliant spaces

The AI identifies rooms where window area meets the required ratio. These are flagged as ready for occupancy.

FAIL

Non-compliant spaces

Rooms that fall below the lighting threshold are flagged. You'll see exactly where the window area is insufficient.

REVIEW

Borderline cases

Spaces that sit right on the edge of compliance are marked for your attention. These require a human eye to confirm.

ERROR

Missing dimensions

If the AI can't find window or floor area data, it flags the error. You'll know which files need more detail.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI processes your architectural data through a two-step verification loop.

  1. Calculate light levels

    The agent looks at the window dimensions and the total floor area to determine the light ratio.

    estimate_light_level

  2. Categorize compliance

    The agent compares the calculated levels against your specific lighting standards.

    classify_lighting

  3. Identify failures

    The agent isolates rooms that don't meet the minimum requirements.

    classify_lighting

  4. Flag for review

    The agent marks any ambiguous data points that need a professional's sign-off.

    classify_lighting

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my CAD files?

    No. The AI only reads your data to perform calculations and classifications. It cannot modify your original design files.

  • 02

    Does the AI sign off on building permits?

    No. The AI provides compliance checks, but the final legal verification must be done by a human professional.

  • 03

    What kind of files can I use?

    The AI works with any data you can provide in text or structured formats that include window and floor area dimensions.

  • 04

    Can it calculate sunlight hours?

    No. This tool is limited to comparing window area to floor area for compliance; it does not model solar paths or sunlight duration.

  • 05

    Do I need to manually do the math?

    No. The AI handles all the area ratios and compliance logic automatically once you provide the dimensions.
