SUSTAINABLE PLANNER
Understand carbon, thermal comfort, and site performance from the first concept
Wind flow, sun exposure, thermal comfort, and early carbon signals, from the first massing. No BIM. No specialist. No waiting.
Trusted by the world’s leading construction and engineering companies
Live simulation outputs
Wind flow analysis
See how your massing affects airspeed and pedestrian comfort at street level.
Sun exposure
Understand facade performance and shading before detailed design begins.
Surface temperature
Identify heat stress risk and the impact of design choices on the surrounding environment.
The biggest decisions happen before the models do
Most environmental impact is locked in before detailed design begins. Massing, orientation, site layout: these choices define a project's carbon footprint, microclimate performance, and urban quality long before any specialist gets involved.
The problem is that the tools built for this moment are either too slow, too complex, or too shallow to be useful. Environmental consultants work on timelines of days or weeks. In-house specialists are stretched. Pure feasibility tools give you geometry and yield, but not environmental direction.
Sustainable Planner fills that gap. Fast, credible, environmental insight at the only moment it can still change the outcome.
Make early-stage decisions with confidence
Unlike early feasibility tools that prioritize speed over substance, Sustainable Planner combines fast scenario generation with pre-calculated climate and carbon data calibrated to your project location.
From local zoning requirements, AI proposes up to 10 viable design options and automatically checks them against planning constraints.
You do not need to source the data yourself. You do not need a specialist to interpret it. You get credible environmental signals the moment you define a concept.
Who it's for
Designed for early-stage AEC workflows
Sustainable Planner supports teams across architecture and urban design, feasibility and concept planning, sustainability consulting, environmental engineering, real estate development, and urban planning and site assessment.
Early design decisions shouldn't require a full study
Sustainable Planner is designed for the reality of early design: limited information, fast iteration, and decisions that cannot wait for a full study.
Built-in location data means you start with pre-calculated climate and carbon inputs calibrated to your project site. No external data collection. No assumptions patched together from generic sources.
Minimal inputs to start
Pre-calculated location data
Fast scenario generation
No simulation expertise needed
Clear stakeholder outputs
A clear path to deeper analysis
Not every concept deserves a full carbon study or a detailed microclimate simulation. Sustainable Planner helps you work out which ones do.
When a concept is worth investigating further, move directly into Carbon Designer 3D for deeper carbon estimation or export to ENVI-met Desktop for scientific microclimate analysis, within the same platform ecosystem you already use.
Manage design variants
Create, duplicate, and compare multiple design directions in one place.
Compare on thermal comfort
See which concept performs best before committing to deeper analysis. Side-by-side PET maps make the difference visible, not just numerical.
Make better design decisions before detailed design begins
See how Sustainable Planner helps architects and engineers compare options when change is still easy.
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.
