Building Analysis

As safety and energy efficiency are vital features of building design, it becomes crucial to include computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and sustainable design in the building analysis design process.

Our building analysis services, or building performance analysis services, help assess the performance of a building, analyse the factors that drive that performance and suggest how that performance can be improved.

Our engineering design services include:

Creating models and running calculations needed to simulate the flow of fluids and their interactions, our CFD engineers use numerical analysis and other data to help solve fluid flow challenges in car parks, shopping malls, hospitals, cinema complexes, stadia and other commercial spaces using PyroSIM and FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator).

Engineers at XS CAD:

Quickly and accurately create 3D models and calculate simulation details of fluid flows
Create CFD simulations to help decide effective HVAC design services for ideal air quality and air flow
Determine ventilation flow patterns, smoke circulation paths, smoke density, smoke temperature estimates, carbon monoxide/dioxide levels
Develop reports on velocity profiles, temperature/smoke layer profiles for different parts of the building, standards’ compliance summary
Develop thermal comfort, pedestrian comfort, pollution, smoke behaviour and fire evacuation analyses

Creating models and running calculations to understand building energy efficiency, our sustainable design engineers use numerical analysis and other data to help design energy-efficient systems in car parks, shopping malls, hospitals, cinema complexes, stadia, commercial spaces and residential towers using IES-VE and DesignBuilder.

We create:

3D building models to analyse building energy performance
Models of mechanical systems to analyse energy consumption
Simulations to calculate heating and cooling loads
Sustainability reports - including solar shading, wind analysis, etc.
