Eco-Friendly Buildings Through Performance: The Role of Energy Simulation and JV3 Modelling as Better Building Solutions

Key Takeaways Prescriptive design standards often limit innovation and result in over-specification. Building energy simulation systems allow teams to test design performance under real-world conditions. JV3 modelling provides a performance-based alternative to Section J compliance, enabling flexibility and smarter material choices. Together, these tools drive sustainable, cost-effective, and truly eco-friendly buildings. Introduction The construction industry […]

Optimising Indoor Lighting Through Daylight and Thermal Modelling for High-Performance Buildings

Key Takeaways Indoor lighting design is a critical factor in achieving comfort, energy efficiency, and compliance in high-performance buildings. Integrating daylight and thermal modelling enables data-driven decisions that balance illumination, heat gain, and occupant well-being. Combined simulations support optimised facade designs, adaptive lighting controls, and HVAC coordination for better building performance. Early modelling integration leads […]
