Thermal Performance

Houses should be designed for their local climate so they remain thermally comfortable all year round with minimal heating or cooling. 

We are accredited to use the latest thermal performance software, BERS Pro, to analyse building thermal performance. We work with the client,  building designer or architect to achieve the desired outcome, whether that is passing  BASIX or optimising the design. 

For each room in the house, we can show the annual simulated thermal load and hourly simulated temperature as shown below. The following link will download a sample summary of the thermal loads.

Sample temperature trace for a summer day in Coastal Sydney. Blue line is outdoor temperature. Green and red lines are in different rooms of the house being modelled. The living room (red line) becomes as hot as outdoors - possibly cause for redesign.
