BuildingPhysics
BuildingPhysics is a professional practice focused on improving the profitability, comfort and safety of the built environment.
With rising energy costs and a growing responsibility towards our environment, a new approach to designing, constructing and managing an efficient building is essential. BuildingPhysics offer building simulation services ranging from daylighting and thermal analysis to smoke and fire modelling.BuildingPhysics helps you take the guess work out of designing and/or improving your building.
What is a Green Building? A common misconception is that a green building has to look radically different from other buildings, but in reality there needn't be any aesthetic differences at all. A green building is any building that makes efficient use of energy and water, with minimal negative impact on the environment (if not a positive one). This has to be true for the entire life cycle of the building, from the design and construction phase, right through operation and until long after the building is gone and forgotten. Finally, the top priority of any building is to keep its occupants comfortable and productive, and this is especially true for a green building.
How can we help you? Every building and its environment is unique and requires its own set of solutions. We will form an active part of your design process, helping you to quantify the impacts of design decisions and use those results to develop new and original ideas (if they are required). We understand that a building is more than just a roof over your head, and through careful evaluation and analysis will give you the freedom to explore concepts that would otherwise have been scrapped due to the uncertainty of their effect on the building's performance.
