Building Simulation

Engineering is dominated by the physics of natural forces:
gravity, temperature, humidity, light, sound, vibration;
and the forces of climate, weather and microclimate.

Until recently, the physics of these forces could only be understood through static equations. Engineers merely executed the calculations that were possible within their limited resources of time and calculating power.

In recent years more and more sophisticated computer modelling techniques have been developed together with more accurate climatic data that allow us to model building performance in real time and for future climatic events. Using these techniques buildings can be designed for many different moments of time, enabling them to meet comfort requirements by responding to changes in the ambient environment.

Battle McCarthy Engineering Simulation has a wide range of computer-based modelling tools that we use to assist us and the design team in the understanding of the interaction between natural forces and buildings, enabling us to optimise building performance in response to the changing environment.
