Sustainable & Low Energy Design
3D energy modelling assists in the design development and review process by helping to determine the most energy efficient and sustainable building solutions and construction methods.
Energy models of buildings utilise local weather data, and can incorporate existing environmental features such as existing buildings, trees, or land features. They can be used as a tool to develop:
- Façade and solar shading design
- Thermal comfort and overheating prevention strategies
- Natural ventilation and low carbon mechanical ventilation solutions
