Calculate precise dimensions for horizontal and vertical solar shading devices.

4 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for architectural thermal comfort. Use get_solar_position to determine the sun's altitude and azimuth, then use calculate_horizontal_depth to find the minimum projection required for horizontal louvers or calculate_vertical_width for vertical fins. You can also audit existing structures using validate_compliance to ensure they meet your target solar cutoff angles.

What is the sun's position at latitude 40.7128 on day 150 at 12:00?

By calling `get_solar_position`, the tool will return the specific solar altitude and azimuth for that location and time.

Calculate required depth for a horizontal louver at latitude 40, surface azimuth 180, solar altitude 45, solar azimuth 135, and cutoff angle 60.

The `calculate_horizontal_depth` tool will compute the minimum projection depth needed to satisfy the 60-degree cutoff requirement.

Check if a 0.5m depth louver is compliant with a 45 degree target angle.

The `validate_compliance` tool will analyze the geometry and return whether the device meets the design threshold or if there is a failure margin.

It calculates the minimum depth for horizontal louvers and the maximum width for vertical fins needed to block sunlight based on solar trigonometry.
