: You no longer need to generate separate outputs for every individual room. A new room overview lists all rooms along with their respective luminaires and energy data in one place. Visual Clarity
: Descriptive texts, names of rooms, areas, and buildings can be edited directly within the Documentation mode via page settings. Other Major "Helper" Features in Version 9
DIALux evo 9 represents a critical step forward in lighting simulation technology. Its ability to accurately calculate both daylight and artificial light, combined with its robust 3D modeling capabilities, makes it an essential tool for creating comfortable, energy-efficient, and visually appealing environments. Key Takeaways
The software provides comprehensive maps showing light distribution, where brighter colors (like orange) indicate higher illuminance levels. 3. Daylight Integration
Click "Calculate." Within seconds, you get:
Instead of a standard calculation grid (e.g., one point every 0.5m), use the "Adaptive grid." The software places calculation points only where light changes rapidly (e.g., near window edges or shadow boundaries), saving significant calculation time without losing accuracy.
Evaluating daylight integration and designing efficient, comfortable workspaces.

Presenting technical data to clients requires compelling imagery. The integrated ray tracing engine in version 9 allows designers to render photo-realistic textures, accurate glass refractions, and realistic material glossiness. 4. Simplified Luminaire Catalog Integration
: The redesign features larger fonts and visually attractive cover pages. It also includes a glossary of terms
: A faster engine provides better visualization and handling of complex objects.
For luminaire manufacturers and advanced users, Dialux evo 9 introduces a built-in photometric web viewer. You can now drag, drop, and visually edit the light distribution curve (LDT/IES) in 3D to see how a change in beam angle affects the room before exporting the data.
