Design Validation
Fully parametric thermal simulation of envelope assemblies — the complete design space, not single-point runs — paired with hotbox testing of the winning design.
Thermal Envelope Studio
Our parametric U-value tool, running in your browser. Set up a masonry wall — brick, air gap, insulation, CMU — choose the standoff bracket geometry and wall-tie type, including thermally-broken ties, and read the assembly U-value, R-value, RSI, and heat flux with a 95% confidence band. Predictions are made by surrogate models trained on 3D finite-element simulations, so each one takes under a second instead of hours.
- Intermediate-floor and clearwall assemblies
- Standoff bracket and wall-tie thermal-break options
- Save, restore, and export scenarios as JSON
- Model comparison and provenance panel, so you can see how the predictions were validated

What you get
Full design-space exploration
Every combination of material, thickness, and detail that matters — not one run per option.
Hygrothermal models
Heat and moisture behaviour of the assembly under Alberta conditions, so durability is designed in.
Hotbox test validation
Physical testing of the chosen assembly under controlled conditions to confirm the modelled performance.
Prove it before you build it
Architects and engineers get empirical data on as-built thermal performance and a way to validate details before they are specified. Product manufacturers and designers validate new assemblies before they ship: parametric simulation explores the full design space, and hotbox testing proves the winner.
