A combination of cutting edge research
Our comprehensive grey box modelled suite of urban building types and renewable systems, combined with an system optimisation algorithm
Urban building models
- Greybox modelling of the most common building types
- Energy usage validated against real data
- Ranking of easiest to hardest net zero conversion of buildings
Building-integrated photovoltaics
- Add PV to all areas of a building – windows, walls, as well as roof
- Radiance programs to determine optimum design.
- PV orientation, angle, shading, and local weather considered
“software ecom has the potential to guide urban planners, developers and energy infrastructure, to net zero. By using a visual tool that optimises the complete system.”
