Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
displaying, via a graphical user interface (GUI) of a communications interface, a 3D model of a building having a plurality of tintable windows and displaying a visualization of tint states of one or more tintable windows on the 3D model;
receiving, via the communications interface, user input from one or more users related to the 3D model;
revising, via a 3D modeling system and based on the input, the tint states of the one or more tintable windows to revised tint states of the one or more tintable windows, 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; and

displaying, by the communications interface and 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.
