This paper presents the potential utility of generative artificial intelligence-based light analysis simulation visualization image in the early phase of architectural planning and design. Facilitating the simulation of a building's performance during the early stages of planning and design presents numerous advantages, such as cost savings and enhanced ease of communication among stakeholders. However, the assessment of design performance is typically conducted during the design development phase or post-design completion. Processing a substantial volume of data based on design alternatives demands considerable time and resources, thus constraining the immediate provision of simulation results. This paper aims to utilize generative AI to produce visualization results of simulations with a predefined level of accuracy, with a specific focus on the architectural aspect rather than the physical and engineering functionalities of the simulation. Consequently, the study employs the following approach: 1) Analyze prominent characteristics and elements within light analysis simulation. 2) Based on this analysis, generate high-quality visualization image data additionally through Building Information Modeling (BIM). 3) Construct a dataset by pairing the generated lighting analysis visualization image with prompts. 4) Utilize the established dataset to create an additional learning model for light analysis visualization images. This study is expected to provide immediate and efficient assistance in design decision-making during the early phases by generating visualization images with high accuracy, reflecting prominent qualitative aspects related to light analysis and processing within the simulation
