Building physics is the understanding of how buildings work in terms of temperature, air, light and energy. This is carried out through building modelling.
We specialise in providing building performance modelling through all stages of the project – from pre planning through to operational buildings. Building modelling can be carried out for compliance checks, or as a design tool to enhance the building performance.
Why carry out building modelling?
Building modelling is a valuable tool for the client and the design team. Early stage analysis can help the design team to enhance the building form, façade and services strategy. Analysis of the options available can assist the team in making key decisions.
The benefits of building modelling for the design team are improved decision making, greater confidence in the final building performance, better plant selection and a better understanding of the building thermal performance for all seasons.
For the client, risk analysis of value engineering decisions in the early stages of a project can help advise on the impact on building performance, lower energy consumption and carbon emissions – a better performing building which hopefully will lead on to increased productivity.
Services we can provided include:
- energy assessments
- dynamic thermal modelling
- overheating analysis
- energy compliance (including building regulations part L and energy performance certificates)
- daylight assessment
- ventilation strategies
