SUSTAINABLE PLANNER
Check every concept for urban heat island risk, wind comfort, and carbon
Microclimate results run on ENVI-met, the same simulation engine specialists use for detailed studies, so you can show clients stronger options, cut feasibility time, and avoid costly redesign. No BIM model or simulation expertise required.
Trusted by the world’s leading construction and engineering companies
Live simulation outputs
Wind flow analysis
See where your massing creates uncomfortable airspeeds at street level, before a planner or client raises it.
Sun exposure
Understand facade exposure and shading so you can shape and orient buildings for comfort and energy performance.
Heat and surface temperature
Spot urban heat island hotspots around your site and see how each design change reduces heat stress.
The biggest decisions happen before the models do
Massing, orientation, and site layout lock in most of a project’s carbon footprint, heat exposure, and pedestrian comfort before detailed design begins.
At this stage, most teams rely on intuition, spreadsheets, or a consultant study that takes weeks. Feasibility tools give you geometry and yield, but no environmental direction. Teams end up developing weak concepts, and problems surface when they cost the most to fix.
Sustainable Planner gives you credible environmental evidence at the one moment it can still change the outcome.
Show clients stronger options, faster
Paste your local zoning text and Sustainable Planner proposes up to 10 design options that fit your planning constraints. Each option comes with climate and carbon results, ready to compare.
You present several tested options in the time it usually takes to prepare one, each backed by environmental evidence your client can see.
Built-in climate data for your site means no data sourcing and no specialist interpretation.
Who it's for
Built for the teams who shape concepts
Architects and urban designers can show clients more viable options. Sustainability consultants and engineers can give early answers before a detailed model exists. Developers can check site potential and environmental risk before committing to acquisition or a full design team.
Early design decisions shouldn't require a full study
Early design means limited information, fast iteration, and decisions that cannot wait weeks for a consultant. Sustainable Planner works with what you have at concept stage: a site, a set of rules, and a building type.
Built-in climate data removes data collection, and automated simulation setup removes the need for a specialist. Your specialists then focus deeper studies on the options worth pursuing.

A clear path to deeper analysis
Not every concept deserves a full carbon study or detailed microclimate simulation. Sustainable Planner shows you which ones do, so you spend consultant time and budget where they count.
Move your chosen concept into Carbon Designer 3D for detailed carbon estimation, or export it to ENVI-met Desktop for full microclimate analysis. Everything stays in the One Click LCA platform you already use.
Manage design variants
Keep every design direction in one place. Create, duplicate, and compare variants without rebuilding your work.
Compare on thermal comfort
Side-by-side PET maps show which concept keeps people cooler and more comfortable, so you can explain your choice to clients and planners.
See which of your concepts is worth developing
Book a demo to see how your team can compare urban heat, wind, and carbon across concept options while changes still cost nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Does it require BIM?
No. Sustainable Planner is built for low-information design phases, before detailed BIM models exist.
How accurate are the outputs?
Sustainable Planner is designed for directional insight, not final sign-off. Results are based on pre-calculated location data, building typology, and early design assumptions. They are reliable enough to compare concepts and identify stronger directions, but not a substitute for detailed engineering studies or compliance verification. Think of it as a credible filter before you commit resources to deeper analysis.
How does the location data work?
You define your project location and Sustainable Planner provides pre-calculated climate and carbon data for that site. You do not need to source or validate external datasets yourself. This is part of what makes results faster and more credible than tools that rely on manual inputs or generic benchmarks.
