BUILDING PHYSICS

​

Building physics is the application of the principles of physics to the built environment. Biobyte bring a fundamental understanding of physics to improving the design of building fabrics and surrounding spaces.

A creative use of advanced analytical tools, skills and methods help Biobyte’s team to design buildings that are comfortable to occupy, easy to use and light in their environmental impact.

Using a range of analytical modelling of moisture, airflow and temperature Biobyte is helped to design unique artificial environments that keep a high internal comfort for people and also for plants.

To make the design for the built environment more sustainable Biobyte's team starts analyzing the building site, its climatic conditions and the optimum orientation for buildings to reduce or take advantage of solar gain. The design process goes on looking at occupant comfort issues, energy use, carbon emissions and operational performances.

Biobyte maintains close links with academics and leading research centers in order to remain at the cutting edge of building physics and develop services to benefit the design process in particular with the Energy Department of Politecnico di Milano. This added-value offering ensures that clients can have confidence in the solutions proposed for both new and existing buildings.
