Description

The early consideration of environmental constraints and possibilities will help the creative designer to conceive a building whose design draws upon these factors. Location analysis enables designers to exploit climatic conditions in order to maintain comfort, minimizing the need for artificial control or the choice of suited materials. A typical location analysis covers:

Wind patterns: Prevailing wind conditions, seasonal wind and the temperature of wind
Temperature: Average, maximum and minimum rainfall
Humidity: Humidity conditions persisting in an area dictate the HVAC make up and in selection of appropriate materials for facade and building interiors
Climate summary: The micro-climate of a site dictated by topography, altitude and urban density
Rainfall: Average daily rainfall

Inputs

The typical inputs required to undertake the analysis are:

Site Coordinates
3D Building Model (Optional)

Outputs

The typical outputs generated from the analysis are graphical and tabular representations of the wind, humidity, rainfall, microclimate and orientation data.
