πŸ’‘ Still making early-stage design decisions with limited insight?

The VE Parametric Tool makes it easy to use real data to explore, compare, and optimise a wide range of design options, before you lock anything in.

βœ” Compare multiple design parameters across different categories, in a single workflow
βœ” Rapidly test design permutations for early-stage optimisation
βœ” Control permutations while maximising insight

πŸ“ŠShare results instantly with stakeholders via interactive HTML outputs, that allow teams to use an interactive parallel coordinates chart to:
βœ… Select ranges across performance criteria
βœ… Define clear design constraints
βœ… Converge on the best-performing option β€” faster ⚑

Once a preferred design is identified, it can be applied directly back to the live model, turning analysis into immediate action πŸ”„.

πŸ“˜ Fundamentals of Building Performance Modeling Handbook - Packed with Practical Insight

Last week, we shared the release of the updated Fundamentals of Building Performance Modeling Handbook. If you haven’t had a chance to dive in yet, this new edition is packed with essential knowledge for understanding and applying building physics and performance simulation.

It brings together core concepts, clearer explanations, and deeper technical insight, with updated sections covering daylighting, HVAC, solar, wind, overheating, climate and much more!

πŸ† From simulation to reality: LEED Platinum, proven by performance.

GreenJump Sustainability used the IES Virtual Environment (IESVE) to accurately model, optimise, and validate a number of high-performance design strategies for its Taipei headquarters.

By leveraging dynamic simulation across lighting, HVAC, and envelope design β€” all within our integrated platform β€” GreenJump optimised and validated every key design decision before construction. Two years into operation, measured energy data confirms the results. πŸ“Šβœ”οΈ

πŸ“Š Design Optimisation, verified by real-world data:
πŸ”Ή 20% energy savings
πŸ”Ή 23 LEED points for Optimize Energy Performance
πŸ”Ή 27.8% lighting energy savings
πŸ”Ή Up to 60% HVAC energy savings

Driving Smart Building Innovation: ENSNARE Project Results

The EU-funded ENSNARE project ended in September, delivering groundbreaking solutions for deep renovation and operational decarbonisation. At its core was a physics-based digital twin integrated with real-time data and optimisation workflows developed by IES.

In our latest blog, Giulia Barbano shares how a residential building in Tartu, Estonia became the testbed for active energy control using predictive modelling, IoT sensors, and human-in-the-loop automation. The system transformed traditional BMS from reactive to proactive, enabling day-ahead optimisation of heating strategies. 🏒

Key Results
βœ… 34% raw reduction in HVAC energy use (up to 50% weather-adjusted)
βœ… No reported comfort issues during a two-month winter deployment
βœ… Secure, standards-based integration via Niagara 4 and oBIX protocols

πŸŽ– Industry Recognition
ENSNARE was recently awarded Best Innovation Project at the A3E Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Awards in Seville, underscoring its impact on smart building technologies.

Interested to hear more about IES’s role and how ENSNARE has helped pave the way for scalable, self-optimising, low-carbon buildings across Europe?

πŸŽ™οΈ New Episode of Watts the Story: featuring IES’s own Kate Bomar

We’re excited to share that Kate Bomar, Building Performance Engineer at Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES)., licensed PE & LFA, and two-time Project STASIO Competition winner, is the featured guest on this month’s episode of Watts the Story, hosted by Jason Zhou of Ibpsa-Usa’s EPSI Committee!

Kate shares how she transformed her dual passion for architecture and engineering into a career at the forefront of building performance simulation. From consulting to software support at IES, to leadership within IBPSA-USAβ€”Kate shows how modeling + storytelling = impact. πŸ’‘πŸ“Šβœ¨

As Kate puts it:
β€œI think our job as modelers is to be storytellers. The better we understand our results, the better we can have an impactful conversation about themβ€”with colleagues, clients, or anyone whose priorities we’re trying to shift.”
