Create sustainable cities.

Simulation is often performed after preliminary design. We propose a different approach. Analyze the empty site first, and let environmental insights guide the design process to achieve faster, better results. Available for Swiss projects, coming to other countries soon. Notify-Me!

Features

UrbanMetrix is a site-analysis and early-design tool that makes of sun, views, noise and wind a primary resource to design healthy and sustainable cities.

Automatic geodata

Environmental simulation

Realtime interaction

Early design

Built for

Architects

Obtain quickly all key insights to fully understand a space and to use its resources to create stronger building designs and better urban plans.

Engineers

Engage at the pre-design stage to support the definition of smart energy strategies matching the building demand with renewable supply.

Developers

Use data to select sites and to define specifications that transform environmental potentials into long-term sustainable value.

Value Creation

This technology produces an immediate worktime reduction for the project-team and new crucial means to design much better solutions. Energy-efficient designs allow to reduce CO₂ emissions and building construction and operation costs. A smart usage of views, daylight, solar access, and silence can generate a significantly higher real-estate value.

More than AI

Traditional tools are trapped in a chicken-egg problem: you need a building design to run simulations, while the aim would be to use simulation results to define the initial building sketch. This limits the creation of truly innovative and better solutions. Similarly, AI-tools provide black-box probabilistic suggestions based on past data that are non-innovative and mediocre by definition. UrbanMetrix breaks these self- and past-referential loops opening to the full-exploitation of the local environmental potentials. Starting from top positions and directions a multitude of efficient site-specific solutions can be created under the full control and understanding of the user.
