With the need for deep renovations of the building sector where targets of 60% and above are required, there is a need to simulate the theoretical performance of a building at an early stage.
A software platform has been constructed that enables building owners and professionals to produce models and run dynamic simulations to test a range of interventions for fabric and technology solutions for energy efficiency improvements.
The company team consists of a combination of software developers and energy engineers seeking innovative ways to enable customers to evaluate the most effective energy improvement measures.
The three key elements to the platform are:
-
Shared storage space - where all data is stored and shared with design team members and where real time communication improves the team productivity regardless of location.
-
3D Model maker - this takes an existing popular modelling tool and has been enhanced to become an intelligent tool for low carbon building design.
-
Energy engine - a web based version of a global standard which is under constant open source development for deep dynamic simulation.
The company now wishes to test the product and adapt as necessary to allow for local requirements. They are looking for academic or research partners with whom they can cooperate under a research agreement to further the development of the product through verification and testing and the development of new software. They are also seeking R & D partners with an in-depth knowledge of country specific requirements with regard to constructions, regulations and practices, who can help develop the technology under commercial agreements with technical assistance or research co-operation agreements to meet the requirements of its use in specific areas, both in terms of geography and activity. The company is also interested in finding industrial partners who can provide market intelligence and knowledge of local market trends for assistance with routes to market, pilot testing and early adoption of new innovations under commercial agreements with technical assistance.
TYPE OF PARTNER: Academic
SPECIFIC AREA OF ACTIVITY: New innovations in the software development programme built on existing products
