Tall Building Simulation - Investment, Energy, Life Cycle | Aedas | Research & Development | UK | UK

Aedas London based R&D group has been leading a number of cross-disciplinary research projects, which demonstrate the effects of key design and briefing decisions across the life-cycle of a project.

It is estimated that key decisions determining the sustainability of a project are made in the first 1% of a project’s design timeline whereas most of the information required for the assessment of sustainability is not usually available until after the concept design stage.

The Tall Building Simulation project has been developed in partnership with Arup, Hilson Moran and Davis Langdon to help clients and design teams evaluate the consequences of shape, form, and key briefing decisions on the energy use, embodied energy and capital / life-cycle cost of a project upfront. The model incorporates early stage M&E and Structural analysis which are linked to cost and life cycle databases through a parametric interface designed by Aedas.
