Compliance & Performance Modelling
From early-stage design to SANS 10400-XA compliance and green certification, our advanced modelling services help you design better buildings and prove they work.
COMPLIANCE & PERFORMANCE MODELLING
Leverage industry-leading engineering software to understand your building's performance, ensure compliance with national building standards, and optimise your design for climate responsiveness and green certification.
Using advanced engineering software, we simulate how your building will perform in its specific local climate before a single brick is laid. Taking an integrated approach, we identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and resource use, delivering savings that last over the lifetime of the building, all while ensuring full compliance with regulatory and certification requirements.
Modelling for every stage. Precision for every budget.
-
SANS 10400-XA Modelling
Confirm compliance with South Africa's national energy efficiency standard. Identify potential compliance issues early and avoid costly redesigns or delays at permit stage.
-
Early Stage Design Modelling
Low-cost, low-fidelity modelling for the concept phase. Test orientation, glazing, materials, and shading against your local climate – before major design decisions are locked in.
-
Design Optimisation Modelling
High-resolution modelling to fine-tune building form, envelope, systems, and materials. Compare hundreds of design iterations to find the sweet spot between first cost, operational savings, and comfort.
-
Certification Modelling
Generate the evidence you need for Green Star, LEED, or other green building certifications. We model energy, water, thermal comfort, and daylighting to meet credit requirements and maximise your rating.

Why Choose Ecolution Consulting to guide your Building Performance Modelling?
Building performance modelling is a cornerstone of sustainability at Ecolution. With the use of sophisticated software, our experienced engineering team maximises your building’s sustainability performance by finding the perfect balance between indoor thermal comfort, optimal daylight and energy efficiency. We design in response to your building’s climate by accentuating bespoke features for balanced solar control, natural ventilation cooling, and passive systems to meet your design budget and long term operational savings.
Ecolution’s services are tailored to enable all building types to afford performance modelling. We apply modelling at all stages of your building’s ‘life cycle’ to reduce energy cost and improve comfort; starting at basic concept modelling, to advanced performance modelling, SANS 10400-XA and Green Star certification modelling, and operational performance audits, all integrated into Ecolution’s broader service offering.
