Building Simulation

In addition, we believe that there is a continuous role for physical modelling tools. We are the only consultancy in central London to have a wind tunnel, Heliodon and access to an artificial sky, which allow us to explore the influence of the physical environment in a more reactive manner with architects and planners.

By using these tools from the outset of the design process we are able to test ideas and options at concept design stage, in order to ensure that the chosen solution will meet expectations in terms of technical performance, environmental impact and economics.

We also have experience of carrying out Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). Our approach is to address the issue of sustainable development in an integrated way throughout the assessment. Our work has included both the coordination and production of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as well as technical expertise in the assessment of sustainable development, microclimate, energy, water and landscape and ecology.
