WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Architects and engineers spend hours manually comparing glazing options, window-to-wall ratios, and shading strategies to optimize building facades for energy performance. Design iterations reveal thermal compliance issues late in the process, causing costly rework. Current workflows disconnect facade design from energy modeling, forcing multiple tools and manual handoffs.

The Solution

Real-time facade analysis within Revit and Forma using building physics calculations. Automatically tests glazing configurations, thermal values, daylighting, and shading effects as designers work. Includes 1000+ glazing specifications from manufacturers and automated energy code lookup by project location. Writes optimized designs directly back to BIM models with performance specifications.
