How We Work

A structured five-step process designed to integrate cleanly with your project timeline. Each stage involves direct communication with your design team.

Step 01 Typical
Day 1–2

Project Intake

We review drawings, HVAC layouts, design intent, space criteria, and the specific question the CFD model needs to answer.

Scope Includes
  • Architectural floor plans and sections
  • HVAC layout drawings
  • Design intent documentation
  • Space use and occupancy criteria
  • The specific design question
  • Available airflow and thermal criteria
Step 02 Typical
Day 2–3

Scope Confirmation

We define the modelling boundaries, assumptions, operating cases, performance criteria, and required outputs before modelling commences.

Scope Includes
  • Model extents and geometry boundary
  • Assumptions and simplifications
  • Operating cases and design scenarios
  • Performance criteria and benchmarks
  • Agreed deliverable format
  • Schedule and review milestones
Step 03 Typical
Week 1–2

CFD Model Development

We create the model geometry, define airflow and thermal boundary conditions, and set up the analysis cases.

Scope Includes
  • 3D geometry from design drawings
  • Supply, return, and exhaust boundary conditions
  • Internal heat loads and occupancy
  • Thermal boundary conditions
  • Multiple operating scenarios where required
  • Model quality checks before result extraction
Step 04 Typical
Week 2–3

Results Review

We provide plots, airflow visuals, thermal maps, comfort outputs, and engineering commentary focused on design implications.

Scope Includes
  • Velocity vector and streamline plots
  • Temperature contour maps
  • Occupied-zone comfort analysis
  • Age of air and ACE results
  • Engineering commentary and observations
  • Discussion of practical design implications
Step 05 Typical
Week 3–4

Final Report

We issue a clear CFD report suitable for design coordination, owner review, and project documentation.

Scope Includes
  • Executive summary
  • Assumptions and model description
  • Full results with visual outputs
  • Engineering recommendations
  • Appendix of technical assumptions
  • Design-support commentary for MEP teams

Deliverables

CFD reports designed for MEP coordination and project documentation.

Deliverables can be tailored for schematic design, design development, tender support, peer review, owner review, or authority-facing supporting documentation.

  • Executive summary
  • Input assumptions and boundary conditions
  • Geometry and model description
  • Airflow velocity plots
  • Temperature contour plots
  • Occupied-zone comfort review
  • Age of air results
  • Air change effectiveness results
  • Contaminant transport visuals, where applicable
  • Design comparison tables
  • Engineering observations
  • Practical recommendations

MEP Integration

Designed to work with your project delivery process.

The CFD work is intended to support mechanical design decisions without disrupting the project’s normal coordination structure. Your firm remains the primary design consultant and engineer of record.

Clear assumptions

Inputs, boundary conditions, and modelling simplifications are documented so the design team understands the basis of analysis.

Design-focused results

Outputs are reviewed from a practical HVAC design perspective, not just as raw simulation plots.

Useful for coordination

Reports can support internal design review, owner discussions, peer review, and documentation of design decisions.
