Independent tool 02 / Environmental performance

Room PerformanceLab

A room-scale design study for bringing daylight, glazing, shading and annual thermal performance into one inspectable workflow.

Experimental early-design screening · assumptions and limits are documented in the tool’s Method panel.

One room / multiple readings

A design loop you can inspect.

Start from a baseline, adjust the room and its openings, then compare evaluated candidates. The lab keeps geometry, assumptions and performance trade-offs together for early design review.

01 / Define

Shape the room

Edit the plan, window envelopes, glazing and shading choices, with climate and use assumptions alongside the geometry.

02 / Evaluate

Read the year

Inspect sampled daylight and annual thermal behaviour, then compare a candidate with its evaluated baseline.

03 / Explore

Compare trade-offs

Explore design combinations and review alternatives across the selected performance objectives.

Scope / evidence

A screening tool for early decisions.

The model is intended for relative comparison under consistent inputs. Its calculations are experimental, external benchmarking is pending, and results should be read with the assumptions and limitations shown in the application’s Method panel.
