Building Physics & sustainability
Energy modeling
We provide full energy modeling services for all projects by certified professionals from UK and USA. We conduct energy modeling to meet project objectives that included and not limited to:
meeting sustainability rating systems requirements for the targeted sustainability objective for the project
Design assessment and verification for its energy efficiency for OPEX requirements for the clients
Feasibility studies for innovative HVAC systems and designs
Feasibility studies for HVAC systems to assess its energy savings benefits relevant to its capital; costs for the clients
Sustainability
Sustainability is one of our major specialties. Since the rise of Sustainability initiatives worldwide we were there. With a strategy to always keep updated and educated of rising sustainability concepts, topics and technology we are always capable to meet any challenge during the design stages achieve optimum results.
CFD General Studies
We provide full CFD studies services for multiple applications that includes but not limited to:
Ventilations studies
Indoor thermal comfort
Outdoor thermal comfort
Fluid flow studies for HVAC and plumbing systems
sophisticated Acoustics studies
The studies are handled by specialist that hold masters degrees in CFD field to ensure the reliability of the CFD studies results and establish confidence in the resultant
recommendations and conclusions.
Acoustics and Vibration control
Acoustics are one of our specialties through technical knowledge, certified professionals and long expertise we are able to identify the acoustic parameters to be integrated in the design.
We provide full scale acoustic and vibration control consultancy. With solid expertise, academic background and technical knowledge, the unit provides high quality acoustic assessments that covers both the environment and buildings. Supported by high technical knowledge of the unit members the unit use developed multiple in-house tools. Acoustics is an independent science that has no associated with any trade. Our team is able to provide high quality professional acoustic consultancy based on a solid knowledge of acoustics science and our profound engineering background.
We provide acoustic assessments and solutions that cover all design trades including:
Room acoustics design
Sound Insulation between rooms
Façade Sound Insulation
Traffic Noise modeling (Roads, Airports, railways)
Auditorium, theater design and Opera House Design
Design performance venues and acoustically demanding spaces
PA/VA system design.
Wind induced noise.
MEP Acoustics and Vibration control
Health and Safety consideration.
Field diagnosis of acoustic issues on site
Environmental noise measurement prior to construction
Noise surveys
Indoor thermal comfort and air quality
We provide assessment for indoor thermal comfort or projects that demands achieving high levels of thermal comfort including, theaters, healthcare facilities and many others. The assessment needed also to verify HVAC air distribution systems particularly for non conventional ones . We provide assessment for indoor air quality for projects that demands achieving high levels of indoor air quality including, theaters, worshiping facilities, healthcare facilities and many others. The assessment needed also to verify HVAC Design including fresh air flow rates, controls (BMS) and air distribution systems particularly for non conventional ones
Outdoor Thermal comfort
Outdoor thermal comfort is one of the novice design concepts that widely considered worldwide. Started by considering passive techniques that evaluated based on the microclimate analysis
Microclimate and Weather Analysis
We provide in early stages of the project full weather analysis for the project site to establish essential concepts during the design
The weather analysis too provides full assessment for the natural ventilation efficiency to be integrate its requirements in the architectural designs. Such as natural ventilation
The solar insulation on the building facades and its impact on the loads Snalysis of potentials for the use of onsite renewables in the project mainly PV panels and win d turbines.
Statistical analysis for natural phenomena that occur in the project region. With a wide database of statistical data about the occurrence of several climate events Model Urban pollution dispersion for projects
Daylight and Glare
We have experience in daylight analysis are able to provide complete insight of the day light efficiency in buildings. With in house tools and other commercial software that can provide initial window to wall ratios for the different facades based on the weather files to achieve particular daylight factor distribution inside the spaces with adequate uniformity and minimizing the glare. We are capable to generate sensitivity and parametric analysis at various stages for the designers. To base his/her design decision upon which.
We are experienced in working on quantifying and mitigating the impacts of glare. We also have experience in forensically analyzing existing glare issues.
Life Cycle Cost
We have full capability to provide life cycle cost analysis for the project to ensure optimum material usage that eliminate or minimize carbon generation and optimum life cycle. Through in house tools and specialized analysis software, the unit is capable to coordinate with the arch to ensure materials selections and specifications that achieves maximum sustainably targets without compromising the design values and the desired functionality
Environmental Assessment
AEC performs environmental assessments and auditing to identify and predict the consequences of proposed projects on the environmental, ecology, human/country resources of any development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and commitments made. As thus, site and process alternatives are analyzed to provide solutions to sift out or abate/mitigate the negative consequences on man and environment.
Environmental auditing, registration, and compliance plans of the existing firms are also among the activities of AEC. The outcome of our studies considers local rules of administrative procedures along with the technical outcome of environmental studies.
