Claim 11:
12. A system for displaying a 3D model of a building having a plurality of tintable windows and controlling tinting of the plurality of tintable windows, the system comprising:
a network with one or more processors and computer readable medium in communication with the one or more processors;
a communications interface configured to:
display a 3D model of the building having a plurality of tintable windows,
display a visualization of tint states of one or more tintable windows on the 3D model, and
receive user input from one or more users related to the 3D model; and

a 3D modelling system configured to revise, based on the input, the tint states to revised tint states of the one or more tintable windows, wherein the communications interface is further configured to display, in response to the input, the revised tint states on the 3D model by displaying a revised visualization of the one or more tintable windows on the 3D model, wherein:
the tint states are based, at least in part on a clear sky 3D model and wherein the revising includes revising one or more attributes of the clear sky 3D model by generating a revised clear sky 3D model and generating the revised tint states, and
the clear sky 3D model and the revised clear sky 3D model are based on one or more of a glare/shadow model, a reflection model, or a passive heat model.
