Trusted by leading firms
Designers and Engineers using Orbital Stack will learn how to:
Validate different design ideas through rapid AI simulations and compare results side-by-side
Understand the solar impacts, thermal comfort, and wind safety issues affecting your project
Save time throughout your design process using high quality data to anticipate unexpected mitigations
Visualize building performance and its impact on outdoor spaces and amenities
An easy to use, web-based environmental analysis tool
Thermal Comfort
Orbital Stack's Thermal Comfort analysis combines wind and solar simulations with climate data to show how outdoor spaces meet usage profiles and indicate patrons' thermal comfort.
Wind Comfort
Orbital Stack simulates Wind Comfort conditions and illustrates wind direction and strength for every outdoor space in your design, providing typical wind comfort conditions and scales to guide appropriate use of each space.
Airflow Analysis
Airflow Analysis examines wind speeds and reveals potential issues with usability, comfort, and safety. Climate-scaled wind flow plots and streamlines map winds on a virtual model, providing insights into local directionality and guiding mitigation choices.
Solar
Analyze shadows by predicting their general placement according to the season and time of day. Plots are created for each season and time range to show the solar potential as a % for the given period.
