Thermal Modelling - The Engineering Practice

THERMAL ANALYSIS & ENERGY MODELLING

Solar shading, natural ventilation and thermal properties are key issues in the design of a building and it is essential to be able to assess the effect of these at an early stage of a project.

3D Thermal Modelling uses actual recorded wind and weather data to predict natural flow of air, tracks the sun to analyse the solar effect and shading and natural daylight and evaluates maximum internal summer-time temperatures, cooling loads, heat losses and, hence, energy and carbon ratings.

The Engineering Practice offers a 3D Thermal Modelling service to analyse:

Natural Ventilation and Passive Ventilation
Night-time cooling
Solar Shading
Natural Daylight Patterns
Internal Summer-time Temperatures
Cooling Requirements
Thermal Mass Properties of Exposed Concrete
Mixed Mode Ventilation
Thermal Properties
Energy Use and Carbon Emission Targets
