Further to energy modelling, our building services team also offer Daylighting, Shadows and Air-flow simulation using software such as IES™.
By accurately modelling the planes and volumes which comprise the space in question, we are able to produce diagrams such as graphs, contours, velocity vectors etc. This data helps assess the performative characteristic of any design and help optimize solutions based on several criteria. For example, different orientations of a building façade will yield different daylighting inside a typical floor space, and by simulating the same, the designers are able to pick the most optimum situation. Different physical properties/materials can also be tested for a particular set-up and optimized based on cost.
Sustainable design is a responsible, intelligent design that balances economic, social, and environmental values. The above capabilities offer distinctive advantage over conventional methods of design and help save energy as well as cost while not compromising on aesthetics and comfort.
