Expert Simulation Services
From compliance modeling to driving your key decisions, we handhold your entire design development & performance optimization journey
01.
Energy Simulations
With collective experience of 4+ decades in performing whole building simulation, we have helped project teams globally, in strategic decision making, achieving sustainability goals and quantifying design strategies in following areas:
- HVAC Design Optimization – Right-size mechanical systems and enhance operational efficiency
- Comparative Analyses – Evaluate multiple design alternatives with quantifiable metrics
- Energy Code Compliance – Ensure compliance with ASHRAE 90.1, ECBC, IECC, and 179D standards
- Calibrated Energy Simulation – Validate models against actual building performance for retrofits & commissioning, as per requirements of IPMVP Option D and ASHRAE Guideline 14
- Evaluating options for net-zero goals – Optimize solar, wind, and other renewable energy integration to achieve your net-zero goals
02.
Design Optimization
Enhance building performance from the earliest stages by maximizing design efficiency with minimal cost implications, optimizing building orientation and massing, improving outdoor comfort, and supporting sustainability goals from day one. Our design optimization services enable informed architectural and engineering decisions before design lock-in.
- Early-Stage Design Optimization – Inform architectural decisions before designs are finalized
- Microclimate Analysis – Assess wind, temperature, and humidity patterns around buildings
- Macro-Level Analysis – Evaluate heat island effects and urban environmental impacts
- Solar Shading & Thermal Analysis – Optimize facade design for thermal comfort and daylighting
- Decarbonization Strategies – Develop pathways to net-zero and low-carbon buildings
03.
CFD Simulation
Leverage computational fluid dynamics to visualize air flows, improve indoor air quality, enhance occupant health and comfort, reduce HVAC energy consumption through optimized airflow, ensure pedestrian comfort in outdoor spaces, and validate mechanical designs before construction. For critical spaces such as Data Centers, Industrial facilities and Clean Rooms (Pharma), our CFD simulations provide detailed insights into airflow and environmental performance within and around buildings.
- Ventilation Effectiveness – Optimize air distribution and indoor air quality
- Natural Ventilation & Airflow Analysis – Design passive ventilation strategies
- HVAC System Effectiveness – Ensure proper air circulation and thermal comfort
- Macro-Level CFD for Built Environment – Analyze pedestrian wind comfort and pollutant dispersion
04.
Lighting Simulation
Create visually comfortable and energy-efficient spaces through advanced daylighting and artificial lighting simulations. Our lighting analyses support compliance with international standards, enhance occupant wellbeing and productivity, reduce lighting energy Dconsumption, and improve overall building certification performance. With advanced capabilities of tools such as IES-VE, we help design teams decide the rigth strategies for their projects, by performing the following analyses:
- Daylight Analysis – sDA & ASE as per LEED BD+C/ID+C requirements
- Daylight Simulations – Illuminance method for accurate light level predictions
- Artificial Lighting – Optimize electric lighting design for energy efficiency and visual comfort
- Exterior Lighting – Design compliant and efficient outdoor lighting systems
05.
Life Cycle Analysis
Your Decarbonization journey requires quantification of embodied carbon for your building. Make informed decisions on materials and systems through comprehensive life cycle assessment services. Our LCA studies help reduce carbon impacts, support sustainable procurement, meet green building certification requirements, and demonstrate environmental responsibility across buildings, products, and manufacturing processes.
- Low Carbon Design Options – Identify materials and systems with reduced embodied carbon
- Whole Building LCA for LEED – Comprehensive life cycle assessment for LEED certification
- Interior Carbon Design Tool – Specialized analysis for interior fit-out projects
