Sustainable Design Analysis Software
At Ark Resources we are experienced users of sustainable design analysis software. This specialised software offers a wide range of simulation and building energy analysis functionality that enables the designer to improve performance of a building on a number of different criteria including:
- Thermal performance — Calculate heating and cooling loads for models and analyse effects of occupancy, internal gains, infiltration, and equipment
- Solar radiation — Visualise incident solar radiation on windows and surfaces, over any period
- Daylighting — Calculate daylight factors and illuminance levels at any point in the model
- Shadows and reflections — Display the sun’s position and path relative to the model at any date, time, and location
- Whole-building energy analysis — Calculate total energy use and carbon emissions of your building model on an annual, monthly, daily and hourly basis, using a global database of weather information
