Meet MCW’s Parametric Energy Modelling 

At MCW Consultants, we recognize that energy efficiency is fundamental to sustainable, high-performance design. However, conventional energy modelling can be time-consuming, often delaying the design process by weeks before yielding actionable insights.

Parametric Energy Modelling can accelerate this process by leveraging parametric analysis. This method involves systematically varying key input parameters within a building energy model to understand their influence on overall performance. Much like adjusting speed, temperature, or pressure in an industrial system to enhance product quality, parametric analysis enables our team to identify optimal design strategies by exploring a wide range of scenarios in a fraction of the time.

The result is faster, data-driven decisions that support design excellence and environmental responsibility from the earliest stages of your project.
