Climate Assessment Report

Design and engineer every project around its climate from day one — with instant, model-free insight inside IESVE.

Generate Climate Assessment Insights in Seconds

The Climate Assessment Report transforms complex weather datasets into clear, actionable design guidance in seconds. Directly within IESVE, it visually displays 8760 hourly weather data, ASHRAE design conditions, solar and PV potential, carbon factors, wind, humidity and precipitation in an interactive, client-ready HTML report. From early concept design through mechanical load sizing and climate resilience planning, it embeds structured climate intelligence into everyday architectural and engineering workflows — without requiring a model or additional tool.

  • Transform complex weather data into clear, interactive insights in seconds
  • 8760 hourly data, ASHRAE design days, solar/PV, carbon factors, wind, humidity, and precipitation
  • Guide early‑stage architectural form, carbon‑aware strategy decisions, and climate‑resilient design
  • Identify temperature, wind, and humidity drivers to inform load calculations and system sizing
  • Supports LEED v4.1, LEED v5 Climate Resilience, AIA 2030, and RIBA Sustainable Outcomes workflows

One Report - Complete Climate Clarity

The Climate Assessment Report unlocks clear narratives that architects and engineers need to design accurately, confidently and resiliently - without switching tools.

Design Day Data

Peak conditions and daily ranges to directly inform mechanical system sizing and load calculations.

  • ASHRAE Heating and Cooling Design Conditions
  • Daily, Monthly and Yearly design-day hourly profiles for equipment sizing
  • Peak Month identification
  • Dry-bulb, wet-bulb and mean coincident extremes

Climate Assessments for All Design Phases

From concept through system design, climate intelligence supports better decisions at every stage.

For Engineers

Engineers gain actionable intelligence from climate data to size systems, design resilient HVAC strategies, and account for future climate scenarios - all within a continuous workflow.

  • Establish monthly ASHRAE Design Day Data for de-risked design load calculations and HVAC system sizing
  • Psychrometric charts enable quick identification of seasonal min/max peaks and ASHRAE 55 Thermal Comfort bands
  • Quickly view external temperature ranges to consider economizer options
  • Interrogate ground temperatures to determine heat sources/sinks at varying ground depths
  • Leverage PV potential with hourly marginal carbon emission data to optimize for multiple metrics
  • Seamlessly move from climate insights to load calculations and detailed system design in IESVE

For Architects

Architects can leverage the Climate Assessment Report to integrate climate-driven insights right from concept design. Early decisions are informed by accurate, interactive data - reducing redesign, enhancing sustainability, and improving client engagement.

  • Guide strategic orientation, form, and shading decisions using real climate patterns
  • Identify climate-driven risks and plan resilient building performance from the concept stage
  • Shareable, interactive visuals that clearly communicate temperature, solar, wind, and humidity impacts
  • LEED, AIA 2030 & RIBA alignment that supports integrative process documentation and sustainability action planning
  • Seamlessly move insights from climate analysis into IESVE models and engineering handoff
