Innovate and iterate at pace with Beyond Carbon Explorer

We are currently developing a new early-stage concept design tool for Passivhaus, in an easy-to-use web app.

IN SECONDS, understand how a wide range of design parameters impact Passivhaus criteria, work that typically takes days to weeks.

The new tool offers multiple benefits for design teams:

➡️ Interact with model geometry in real-time, e.g. in Design Team meetings or during concept design development

➡️ Parametrically adjust a wide range of geometry and performance inputs

➡️ Core back-end calcs deliver Passivhaus PHPP results with full annual calculations taking place almost instantly in the background as you work

➡️ Get OUTPUTS IN SECONDS for the key Passivhaus criteria of space heating demand and heat load, as well as form factor

➡️ Easily visualise the key design parameters that will drive your building's performance and its compliance with Passivhaus criteria

➡️ Enables the design team to make quick, well-informed decisions about design fundamentals

➡️ Removes inefficiency, time delays and abortive work during RIBA Stages 1 and 2

➡️ No more spending weeks going back and forth testing design iterations

SPEED SAVES MONEY. By iterating designs rapidly, teams can avoid design pitfalls that cost the client money later, and instead produce value-optimised Passivhaus designs that deliver exemplary energy and comfort performance, every time.

📢 The tool is under continuous development and additional functionality is coming soon. We are aiming to launch an online trial early in 2026 - if you'd like to get involved, use our contact page to get in touch!
