Technology Overview

Used by sustainable design experts around the globe, the Virtual Environment (VE) is a software that offers in-depth suite of integrated analysis tools for the design and retrofit of buildings. The platform leverages a world-leading simulation engine to allow cross-team collaboration between architects, engineers and contractors, from concept design to operation. Embedding energy and performance analysis into the heart of the design process, and across the entire building lifecycle.

Energy Modelling & Compliance

Tools for fast, accurate, sub-hourly, thermal building simulation of any size or complexity.

Building & Systems Design

Quick and easy loads calculations and equipment sizing from the earliest stages of design.

Modelling & BIM Interoperability

Interoperate with BIM platforms for two-way information exchange and quick digital design.
