Over the last 25 years we have built a solid reputation as the leading global innovator in integrated performance based analysis, and we're now home to the largest building analytics team in the world.
Supporting resource-efficient, healthy and cost-effective built-environments, we simulate and analyse data to give those involved in their creation and management the information needed to make smarter, more sustainable decisions with confidence. Our unique software and technology, is supported by expert consultancy. And our dedicated R&D department ensures our analytical tools and industry knowledge stays pioneering and innovative.
We believe that every building of every city in the world can be decarbonised. Our purpose is developing the technology to make that happen. Our ultimate aim is to create a built environment that is resource and energy efficient. Eliminating global reliance on fossil fuels while promoting comfort, health and wellbeing, and fairer access to energy for every citizen in the world.
From building physics specialists and software engineers to highly qualified consultants, we employ people who are committed to sustainability and invested in what we do. We pride ourselves on our team of friendly, interesting and diverse people from across the globe. We currently have staff of 19 nationalities located in 13 countries, speaking 27 languages.
As a company, we are profoundly aware of the need to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and conserve the Earth’s natural resources. Everything we do is focused on delivering technology that reduces the impact buildings and cities have on the environment. Because of this, the scope of our products and services covers new build developments, building operation, refurbishment of existing buildings, masterplanning, and integrated heat/cooling/power/renewable networks. It can be applied whether looking at a building in isolation, or as groups.
Innovation is at the heart of what we do. The IES Virtual Environment (IESVE), when it was first launched was pioneering, and today we continue to invest in research and development to ensure we stay at the cutting edge. Our dedicated R&D Division has a reputation for creating strong R&D proposals and delivering innovative commercial projects. We are always looking for better ways to do things so that we can provide our customers with the most sophisticated, cost effective and usable software.
