Balance Design offers the PHPP modelling of new or existing buildings. This can be at high level to assist in early decision making around project feasibility and the likely outcomes or in greater detail to optimise any design decisions already developed. The earlier the involvement the easier it is to achieve better outcomes cost effectively.

Thermal bridge modelling using Flixo software is used to understand the details of how the junctions of a building should be built. This is to manage the hidden energy loss and risk of condensation, mould and structural damage that is otherwise unseen and unknown.

Daylighting analysis is a powerful tool that is new to the residential design world. This modelling provides insight into the impact of the window position and size to understand the balance of daylighting and glare with the risk of discomfort/overheating. This analysis can guide the specification of glass or shading strategies to manage this impact. Windows are the most expensive and critical part of the building envelope to get right, it pays to understand them.
