Empowering Architects to Achieve Zero-Carbon Designs
Architects are having to adapt to address the impact of global temperature rises. Overheating in particular is now a major concern. And with more stringent building regulations, such as the recently introduced Part O, coming into play, understanding the overheating potential of a building at the earliest design stage is crucial.
Thousands of firms have also committed to ambitious zero carbon pledges through initiatives such as Architects Declare and the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge. However, to deliver on these they need to be integrating building performance evaluation at every step, from pre-design through into operation.
IES provide tools to help architects achieve exactly that. Making it possible to futureproof their designs and understand the impact that even the earliest decisions made will have across all aspects of comfort, energy, carbon and costs.
