NECB Adaptation
An independent adaptation connecting AI-assisted OpenStudio operations with Canadian prototype generation and NECB ruleset application.

In development
From drawings to
workable model geometry.
I’m developing a drawing-assisted tool to reduce tracing and cleanup, with human supervision to correct geometry and confirm meaningful space and thermal-zone assignments.
The focus is editable layouts, floor alignment, shared boundaries, and checks before simulation.
An initial priority for smoother open-source adoption. Further capabilities can be developed around your firm’s requirements.

Code & certification reports
Automate agreed reporting formats, with inputs and evidence ready for review.
Residential overheating
Analysis and reporting based on methods such as CIBSE TM59.
Airflow analysis
Connections to OpenFOAM for targeted CFD studies.
Whole-building LCA
Link construction quantities and material data to openLCA or other assessment tools.
Potential developments, each requiring suitable inputs, implementation, and validation.
