Resilient Urban Solutions
Our mission is to enhance climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban areas
Building performance simulation & optimization
We have top-notch expertise in simulating the energy performance of buildings and generating optimum solutions, while considering multiple influencing factors such as user behaviour, building parameters, micro-climate, extreme climate etc.
We have developed our pioneering approaches to include the influencing factors in generating optimum solutions from the very early design stage.
