Building Physics and Analysis

Building physics is the application of physics and thermal dynamics to the built environment. 

Software such as IES and TAS can model how heat, light and air move through a building. This provides an in-depth understanding of how these elements interact with the building. 

The application of  thermal modelling by our team of experienced building modellers enhances Hyde Chadwick’s engineering throughout the whole process.

• Heat transfer calculations including steady state loads using CIBSE Guide A methodology. 
• Energy modelling to validate strategies and demonstrate Building Regulations compliance. 
• Ventilation studies using dynamic thermal simulation and CFD tools. 
• Solar load and overheating analysis.
• Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM)
• Building Energy Performance and Carbon Dioxide Emissions
• Thermal comfort, over heating and solar heat gain
• Ventilation strategies and air flow
• Passive Design Analysis
• Daylighting Calculations
• Low and Zero Carbon (LZC) feasibility
