Sustainability and Building Physics
Building Science helps us understand the relationship between buildings, materials, energy, climate and people.
We use modelling and analysis to test performance and support better design decisions.
ENERGY + CARBON
Energy modelling, Energy consumption, Carbon analysis, Design comparison, & Energy optimisation
THERMAL COMFORT
Thermal comfort, Overheating, Indoor conditions, Passive design & Cooling strategies
SOLAR + DAYLIGHT
Solar exposure, Solar gains, Shading, Daylight & Design optimisation
THERMAL PERFORMANCE
U-values, Thermal bridges, Heat flow, Building envelope performance & Thermal junctions
Our Environmental Intelligence service combines architecture, urban design, environmental analysis, building science and systems thinking to create developments that perform better, consume less, generate more and leave a positive legacy. From individual buildings to large-scale urban developments, we help clients create places that respond intelligently to climate, resources, energy, ecology and human wellbeing. We integrate environmental performance from the earliest stages of design, ensuring sustainability becomes an integral part of the architectural vision rather than an afterthought.
Using ENVI-met, IESVE and DesignBuilder, we help developers, architects and organisations analyse environmental performance, overheating risk and urban climate conditions.
Tools
ENVI-met
Urban climate analysis and microclimate simulation software.
IESVE
Building performance and environmental simulation software.
DesignBuilder
Environmental modelling and sustainable building analysis software.
TRISCO
A building physics software used to analyse heat flow through building elements and junctions.
GIS
(Geographic Information Systems) used to collect, analyse and visualise location-based information, to understand sites, cities and environmental conditions.
