Energy Modeling and Passive Strategies
Simulation tools compare seasonal gains across orientations, enabling window placement that warms in winter and limits summer peaks. Try quick parametric runs to see how small angle changes shift demand curves. Subscribe for a reusable scenario file.
Energy Modeling and Passive Strategies
Iterative models rapidly test wall assemblies, airtightness targets, and roof insulation thickness. Visual dashboards highlight diminishing returns so you stop where savings flatten. Ask for our checklist to avoid over-insulating the wrong plane.
Daylight, Glare, and Electric Lighting
Sun Paths and Skylight Strategy
Tools calculate useful daylight illuminance and glare probability across hours, seasons, and sky types. That evidence drives smarter skylight sizing and placement. Follow for a step-by-step guide to balance brightness and privacy in compact spaces.
Healthy Circadian Lighting Plans
Lighting software helps map melanopic stimulus through the day, pairing daylight with efficient fixtures and dimming. The result supports sleep, mood, and focus. Comment if you want our starter profiles for bedrooms, kitchens, and home offices.
Materials, Embodied Carbon, and LCA
LCA software contrasts structural options like engineered wood versus steel, revealing big swings in embodied carbon. Transparent datasets make trade-offs visible. Subscribe to get our decision tree for low-carbon floors, roofs, and wall systems.
Materials, Embodied Carbon, and LCA
Modeling platforms can tag reclaimed materials and document deconstruction strategies, improving circularity and permitting. That planning avoids landfill trips and saves budget. Comment if you need a template to track salvage quantities and sources.
Water, Landscape, and Resilience Modeling
Catchment calculators link roof area, rainfall patterns, and tank sizing, ensuring your storage actually meets seasonal demand. Simulate irrigation and fixture loads to find the sweet spot. Subscribe for our tank sizing spreadsheet template.
Water, Landscape, and Resilience Modeling
Landscape modeling visualizes evapotranspiration and shade, guiding species selection that thrives with minimal watering. Pair with moisture sensors for feedback loops. Share your zone and we will suggest a pollinator-friendly plant palette.
Renewables and Electrification Planning
PV software evaluates roof geometry, shading from trees, and inverter configurations to predict annual generation. Tie it to utility tariffs to estimate payback. Follow for our guide to balancing self-consumption and export credits.
Healthy Air, Moisture, and Building Science
01
Ventilation Paths and Balanced Airflow
Simulation helps map supply and return paths, ensuring fresh air reaches bedrooms and living zones without drafts. Use sensors to validate assumptions after move-in. Follow for our balanced ventilation room-by-room checklist.
02
Low-VOC Libraries and Specifications
Material libraries flag low-VOC paints, adhesives, and finishes, reducing headaches and long-term off-gassing. Specifications tie selections to performance documentation. Comment with a product question and we will research the certifications.
03
Moisture, Thermal Bridges, and Mold
Hygrothermal tools visualize dew points in tricky corners and around penetrations. That insight guides insulation, tapes, and flashing details. Subscribe for a tutorial that turns red flags into resilient assemblies you can trust.
Friendly interfaces turn kilowatts and liters into insights, highlighting small daily wins that add up. Compare rooms, timeframes, and habits to keep motivation high. Share your favorite metrics and we will build demo widgets.
