— What We Do
How can we help to improve your design?
Novasim provides a wide range of consultancy services in environmental assessments for the built environment and the urban environment.
We help architects and engineers to consider different physical phenomena in their building design by conducting computer-based numerical modelling & simulation, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
Our tools and know-how allow for the representation of internal flow patterns, mechanical / natural ventilation systems and thermal effects in complex geometric spaces, such as:
Typical studies
Typical applications are the study of :
- Thermal comfort in large semi-enclosed spaces like Atrium
- Pedestrian-level wind comfort at outdoor recreational areas
- Daylight availability in offices
- Performance of the ventilation strategies in complex geometry buildings
We help designers to create more comfortable and sustainable spaces
Novasim’s mission is to enable architects, engineers, planners and developers to make simulation-based informed design decisions in order to:
- Improve the thermal comfort and well-being of occupants
- Create more sustainable building designs by optimizing the use of the sun and wind for heating, cooling and lighting spaces
An experienced team of specialists
Novasim’s team of specialists brings a 10+ year international experience in supporting world’s leading designers during the planning & design development stages of large-scale projects.
Our collaborative approach
By engaging early in projects along with the design team, we are able to:
- Test multiple design options
- Validate the ventilation strategies
- Optimize the building performance
Whereas, while retrofitting, our tools help troubleshoot existing designs, and explore alternative solutions by testing them virtually.
Our holistic vision of comfort
Finally, we promote a holistic approach of comfort, accounting for the fact that the comfort and the quality of spaces are affected by a large number of parameters such as:
- Air Velocity
- Temperature
- Local Weather Conditions
- Ventilation Strategy
- Air Quality
- Daylight
- Noise
