BUILDING MODELING
HEIMER carries out dynamic thermal and energy simulations using Pleiades to assess the real performance of buildings under actual operating conditions.
APPLICATIONS
Simulations are used to:
Evaluate existing building performance
Compare renovation or design scenarios
Support environmental certifications (HQE, BREEAM)
Assess comfort conditions (thermal comfort, overheating risks)
Analyze compliance with regulatory or performance objectives
METHODOLOGY
The modelling process typically includes:
Detailed description of the building envelope and systems
Integration of occupancy, schedules and internal loads
Climatic data and scenario definition (current and future)
Simulation of multiple technical and architectural variants
ADDED VALUE
Dynamic simulations provide:
Quantitative comparison between scenarios
Objective support for technical decision-making
A robust basis for investment arbitration and long-term strategies
