Model Before
You Build or Retrofit

You can have a whole-building thermal simulation that quantifies loads, comfort, and annual consumption. We ensure that every decision is tested in software before it costs you in reality. First, estimate your building’s energy, and if you needed more precision, request a simulation.

Peak Load Quick Check

Four inputs give a first-pass estimate of your building's thermal peak and annual demand. The calibrated model then refines it to ±10%.

Method

From plans to validated numbers

// 01

Data intake

Plans, occupancy schedules, utility bills and local weather files (TMY3 / Meteonorm).

// 02

Model build

Geometry, envelope, glazing and internal gains assembled in EnergyPlus / OpenStudio.

// 03

Calibration

The model is tuned against real bills until deviation sits inside ±6%.

// 04

Scenario runs

Envelope upgrades, system options, setpoints and PV/battery interplay, tested side by side.

// 05

A villa that argued with its boiler

Simulation showed the real enemy wasn't the boiler. It was the envelope and an oversized, short-cycling unit. The model tested three futures before a single euro was spent.

  • Baseline: 42.6 MWh/yr thermal, 310 overheating hours.
  • Envelope first: roof + glazing upgrade cut demand by a third.
  • Right-sized plant: 62% smaller boiler, quieter and steadier.

Send your plans and a year of bills. We'll return a calibrated model, a ranked roadmap and the math behind both.

FAQ

Common questions

What exactly is building energy simulation?

It’s a physics-based digital twin of your building. We input your geometry, materials, climate data and usage schedules, then run thermodynamic equations to predict exactly how much energy it will consume and how comfortable it will be.

How accurate are your models?

Our calibrated models typically achieve a deviation of less than ±6% against actual utility bills. We don't just guess; we tune the model until it matches your historical reality before predicting the future.

What software do you use?

We use industry-standard engines like EnergyPlus and OpenStudio, wrapped in our own validated workflows. This ensures our deliverables are recognized by green building certifiers (LEED, BREEAM) and local authorities.

Do I need a simulation for a small residential project?

If you are doing a standard renovation, maybe not. But if you are adding complex systems (heat pumps, PV, batteries), changing the envelope drastically, or building a passive house, a simulation prevents costly oversizing and comfort issues.

How long does a typical simulation take?

A standard residential or small commercial project takes 5 to 10 working days from the moment we receive complete architectural plans and utility data. Larger or complex facilities are scoped individually.
