Our Approach

A rigorous, iterative method tailored to your buildings

From initial bioclimatic site analysis to post-handover commissioning, we combine cutting-edge numerical modeling with architectural pragmatism.

From initial climate analysis through commissioning.

We combine state-of-the-art numerical modeling with architectural pragmatism to ensure robust, measurable energy outcomes.

The 4 stages of our methodology

01

Analyze & Diagnose

Evaluate site, local climate, and programmatic requirements before taking engineering decisions.

  • Microclimate and heliothermal survey of construction site
  • Solar irradiance, prevailing wind patterns, and humidity analysis
  • Operational occupancy profiles and internal thermal loads diagnostic
  • In-situ building envelope and HVAC audit for existing facilities

Contractual Deliverables

  • Bioclimatic diagnosis report
  • Representative local weather profile (TMY)
  • Site opportunities and constraints matrix
02

Simulate & Model

Forecast dynamic physics behavior hour-by-hour using digital simulation engines.

  • 3D geometric building modeling including immediate solar obstructions
  • Dynamic Thermal Simulation (DTS) across 8,760 hours of the year
  • Daylight Factor (DF) and daylight autonomy mapping
  • Hygrothermal summer comfort assessment without over-cooling

Contractual Deliverables

  • Calibrated 3D digital model
  • Surface temperature and daylight heatmaps
  • Hourly thermal peak load curves
03

Optimize & Refine

Tune walls, glazing, and shading devices to maximize passive energy savings.

  • Techno-economic comparative analysis of multiple envelope variants
  • Passive optimization: thermal mass, insulation, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)
  • Right-sizing ventilation airflow and cooling capacities
  • Financial feasibility, capital expenditure, and return on investment validation

Contractual Deliverables

  • Multi-criteria architectural decision matrix
  • Thermal architectural detail drawings
  • Right-sized equipment sizing specifications
04

Accompany & Validate

Support project execution from design drawings to post-occupancy performance.

  • Specification integration in contract documents (tender and execution files)
  • Assistance during contractor bid evaluation and technical reviews
  • On-site inspection visits focusing on envelope airtightness and thermal bridges
  • Commissioning, control setting verification, and measurement protocols

Contractual Deliverables

  • Compliance verification sheets for tender
  • Construction inspection supervision logs
  • Operational handover and user guide
