F O U R RU L E S O F TH U M B TH AT CO U L D L E A D YO U A S TR AY How Sefaira Can Help Sefaira makes sustainability analysis a seamless, integral part of the design process. This enables architects to discover the most important sustainable strategies early in design, and evaluate design options before the design is locked down. Sefaira is specifically tailored to help architects investigate the factors at play in the early stages of design, including the passive design strategies explored above. Sefaira is: Sefaira allows architects to perform more analysis, more frequently, and at lower cost, helping to set projects on the right trajectory and ultimately delivering better-performing, more sustainable buildings. Decisions that architects make in the early stages of design can have a significant impact on building performance. Early, frequent feedback is critical for making informed design decisions, identifying strategies that have the most impact, and finding synergies between performance, aesthetics, and other project requirements. Fast: The cloud-based engine provides real-time feedback on design decisions unlike traditional applications. Easy to use: Sefaira was built for architects to use from the first pen stroke. Parametric: Quickly explore the design space by evaluating a wide range of options. Comparative: Study multiple design options side-by-side to quickly hone in on factors that have the biggest impact. Collaborative: Cloud-based collaboration helps all stakeholders understand the design from the outset. Technology neutral: Sefaira supports passive and active design strategies, water and renewables. AEC DNA: Our team of engineers and architects brings a deep understanding of the problems designers are trying to solve in conceptual design.
