DIAL GmbH

DIAL GmbH is a German engineering software house that concentrates on the planning, calculation and visualisation of artificial and daylight scenarios for the construction industry. Its only public Windows package, DIALux evo, bundles indoor, outdoor and street-lighting workflows into a single BIM-ready modelling environment: planners can import IFC or DWG building data, place luminaires from more than 190 manufacturer catalogues, run radiosity and ray-tracing calculations for uniform glare, illuminance and emergency-lighting norms, and then generate comprehensive documentation, false-colour renderings and 3-D interactive walk-throughs for clients, energy consultants and approving authorities. Typical use cases cover office fit-outs where lux levels and UGR glare ratings have to meet EN 12464, retail projects that optimise accent lighting and colour rendering, complex multi-storey buildings that require daylight-linked sensor control, and municipal road schemes that must prove compliance with ME class ratings. Because evo is free for professional use, lighting designers, electrical engineers, architects and sales representatives employ it daily for concept drafts, tender preparation, energy-saving comparisons and on-site verification, while manufacturers rely on the same engine to certify photometric data and create plug-in extensions for their own product lines. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com; the site supplies the latest evo release through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, and multiple applications can be installed in one batch operation.
