Sustainable Design Solutions

Urban Climate Analysis

We create tailored design strategies focussed on enhancing urban design to optimise comfort, walkability, and green space integration whilst ensuring that impacts to the existing built and natural environments are reduced.  We collaborate closely with stakeholders to ensure every project is both environmentally sustainable and conducive to community wellbeing.  

Building Design Solutions

Urban Vector develops interactive platforms that simulate and analyse thermal performance of dwellings.  These tools empower designers to maximise occupant comfort and reduce energy demand through superior orientation, layout and ventilation.

Livability & Use Optimisation

Our unique simulations and interactive platforms assist to visualise and analyse air movement, air refreshment cycles and thermal performance within residential, commercial, and industrial spaces including residential houses, dwelling units, tower complexes, hospitals, nursing homes, public and private community buildings, industrial sheds and storage facilities.  

Biophilic Design and Greening

Urban Vector uses systems which can accurately model a range of flora including trees, lawns and shrubs to determine their specific impact on reducing heat and optimising breezes. These tools empower government and private sector clients to plan, assess, and refine urban environments for optimal comfort and resilience.

Our Services

Our Point of Difference

At Urban Vector, we enjoy nothing more than partnering with industry leaders to create healthier, more livable places by optimising comfort and environmental quality through innovative urban design.  We utilise advanced modelling tools and simulation to provide comprehensive insights into urban temperature patterns, wind flow and heat stress.  Out climate analysis supports architects, planners and engineers to make informed decisions about urban design, building design and interior design for both existing and new developments.   

Consulting Services

We have all the tools and systems you need to deliver world class sustainable outcomes in Australian towns and cities. Our process are scalable, which means that they can be used to assess and analyses small design details like the positioning of fans within homes, through the path of breezes through a tower development, large urban precinct or neighbourhood development area. 

Iso

Local Climate Analysis

Identification and proccessing of key climate information. Our systems can directly import Energy Plus Files data sets for local climate analysis.

Human Health and Comfort Assessments

The number of times that air is replaced within a internal space has a direct effect on the health of occupants. We measure how well design delivers on air changes.

Planning Provision Drafting and Review

Preparing detailed assessments of key planning controls including yield, height and setbacks to determine climate impacts.

Public Realm and Street Scape Analysis

Analysis of external and public realm areas to determine wind and heat impacts on outdoor activities and comfort.

Architectural Design Support

Identyfing the impacts of key design decisions relating to floorplate design, colour, materials and passive cooling features.

Landscape and Vegetation Assessment

We determine and quantify the cooling benefits of specific trees and shrubs within proposed development sites, parks and streetscapes.

Development Assessment Review

Assisting local and state governments to review and analyse development applications and their climatic performance relative to a range of international standers.

Digital Twin Development

We provide data and outputs which can be directly incorporated into a variety of digital twin platforms.
