About UrbaWind
Wind is a difficult to grasp. In an urbanized environment, its behavior becomes more complex in contact with buildings, and many effects can occur: speed-ups (Venturi effect), vortices, plunging flows, interference, detachments, etc. The built environment thus creates a microclimate that often causes discomfort for users. To achieve sustainable architecture and urban planning, it is essential to study these aerodynamic phenomena and to integrate them as early as possible in urban projects. its study is more and more requested by project owners in many countries. Its consideration is necessary for the proper development of an outdoor public space and the well-being of users. UrbaWind allows you to compute the wind comfort of pedestrians according to the comfort standards of different countries.

ENVI-met
ENVI-met is a 3D microclimate simulation software. The software is used for a wide range of applications, including urban planning, building design, and energy efficiency, considering not only one single climate parameter, but all of them. ENVI-met can simulate a variety of climate conditions, including day- and night-time temperatures, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation in cities. The software can also simulate the effects of different building materials, such as glass and stone, on the climate of the surrounding environments. The program is used to predict the effects of urban design changes on the microclimate environment and human thermal comfort for people in cities worldwide. As climate change is having a major impact on our planet, it is essential, that more healthier and resilient cities are developed. To support these goals ENVI-met can be used to assess the potential of new buildings, green spaces, and urban planning and to make informed decisions.

AKL FlowDesigner
AKL FlowDesigner is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software that enables wind analysis by easily importing 3D models of buildings or urban blocks developed by modeling tools such as Autodesk Revit, GRAPHISOFT ARCHICAD, Rhinoceros and SketchUp. AKL FlowDesigner is BIM capable in IFC format. Architects, designers, engineers and consultants can use AKL FlowDesigner early in the design process to understand and visualize airflow around their projects. Early analysis reduces design time and gives a powerful impression to clients. CFD simulation of AKL FlowDesigner gives you the maximum benefit in the application of AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry. Airflow simulation used to be a complex and time-consuming task requiring deep technical knowledge. No more! AKL FlowDesigner allows any user to create simulations and analyze airflow in minutes. No engineering degree or complex calculations are required!

Orbital Stack
Orbital Stack is an AI and CFD web-based software that provides earlier qualitative guidance, comparing a large number of design options while highlighting any potential wind and thermal comfort red flags. It allows for the realization of a variety of climate-conscious, high-performance developments not previously feasible due to cost and/or time constraints associated with traditional studies.
Orbital Stack is the first digital climate-analysis tool built by global leaders in wind and microclimate engineering using real wind tunnel data. It is truly a game-changer for the architecture and building design sector, offering our clients direct access to wind comfort and safety analysis, thermal comfort and shadowing analysis, and cladding pressure simulations. This means architects can run their own wind simulations and quickly understand the climate impacts of their proposed building designs from the start, making decisions that result in higher performing and more resilient projects.
