Product catalog summary
Introduction
Monodraught, established in 1974, focuses on reducing energy and costs through sustainable building design. The company utilizes advanced building performance analysis and simulation to optimize building designs.

Building Simulation
Monodraught employs computer simulations to analyze building designs quickly and accurately. This process involves designing, testing, and redesigning until the optimal solution is found. Key tools used include IES VE-Pro, Flucs DL, Radiance IES, and others for daylight and thermal modeling.

Benefits of Building Simulation
  • Cost and Time Efficiency: Simulations save money and time by allowing theoretical ideas to be tested with real-life data.
  • Detail and Flexibility: Simulations provide detailed insights and allow for easy redesigns and 'What If?' scenario analyses.

Thermal Modelling
Dynamic thermal simulations consider all design parameters affecting a building's response to the environment. Monodraught uses IES VE-Pro and NAVENSYS for thermal modeling, focusing on natural ventilation strategies.

Natural Ventilation Design Consultancy
Monodraught collaborates with IES to develop Performance Components for modeling natural ventilation and cooling systems. They offer a free design service to create dynamic thermal models for specific projects.

Daylight Simulation
Tools like FlucsDL and Radiance IES are used to model daylight conditions and produce realistic renders of internal spaces. These tools help optimize natural lighting systems.

BIM Modules
Monodraught products are available on BIMObject.com, allowing integration into 3D models to assess performance and aesthetics.

Conclusion
Monodraught provides comprehensive solutions for sustainable building design, leveraging advanced simulation tools to enhance energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.

Building Simulation Why Use Building Simulation? Monodraught engineers require a relatively low amount of data to carry out modelling and are able to give a whole overview of typical ‘What if?’ scenarios. What is Building Simulation? As an example, on a low energy cooling system installation, a typical question would be Through the progression of technology and research, it is now possible to perform extensive building analysis through computer simulation both quickly and accurately. “Is it going to work on the hotter days?” Monodraught engineers simulate building designs with advanced dynamic...

Thermal Modelling IES Performance Components To help architects and consultants deliver low maintenance, energy efficient designs within the built environment, Monodraught have collaborated with IES to develop Performance Components – a revolutionary way of modelling Natural Ventilation and Natural Cooling systems using the Virtual Environment Suite. Dynamic Thermal Simulation A dynamic thermal simulation encompasses all the design parameters that influence the way in which a building responds to the external environment. Users can create a model that replicates the exact physical form of a building,...

Daylight Simulation LUX Plotter The LUX plotter is a mathematical model developed for Monodraught by the University of Liverpool for determining the size and number of Monodraught SUNPIPE® Natural Lighting systems required to achieve a desired lux level in a given space. The FlucsDL module enables the designer to determine the indoor daylight conditions in different rooms within a building model to ascertain the daylight factors and light levels experienced within a space. Monodraught have experimentally determined the design parameters associated with our Natural Lighting systems. Therefore,...
