Earthwise Design Solutions

ENGINEERING METHODOLOGY

The Science of Building Physics,
Simulation & Net-Zero Synergy

At Earthwise, we do not simply size equipment. We simulate whole-building thermodynamic performance, integrating passive architectural synergies with high-efficiency active engineering to create low-carbon, cost-optimized built environments.

HOW WE THINK

Our 4-Stage Performance Framework

Every facility undergoes a sequential optimization loop—from meteorological boundary modeling to clash-free virtual construction.

01

Passive Optimization

Analyzing sun path charts, wind direction vectors, envelope shading coefficients, and daylight harvesting to minimize fundamental cooling and heating base loads before mechanical intervention.

  • Microclimate data file assessment
  • Solar insolation & glazing SHGC tuning
  • SuperECBC wall & roof U-value modeling
02

Energy CFD Simulation

Deploying Carrier HAP, eQUEST, and EnergyPlus to map hour-by-hour dynamic loads, quantify annual EPI (kWh/m²/yr), and conduct lifecycle payback calculations for high-efficiency plant equipment.

  • Baseline vs. Proposed design comparisons
  • Hourly thermal mass heat storage curve
  • Adaptive thermal comfort (ASHRAE 55)
03

Active High-COP Engineering

Designing decentralized and centralized central plants—radiant floor hydronics, primary variable chiller configurations, geothermal loops, and smart BMS automation loops for maximum efficiency.

  • District cooling & diversity factoring
  • Radiant cooling (35%+ energy reduction)
  • Low-loss transformers & harmonic filtration
04

5D BIM Federated Delivery

Converting 2D concepts into coordinated 3D/5D BIM environments. Resolving cross-discipline spatial clashes between MEP, Structural, and Architectural layers prior to fabrication and site erection.

  • Automated Navisworks clash reports
  • Fabrication-level spool & shop drawings
  • Material quantity take-offs (BOQ precision)
CARBON REDUCTION METRICS

How We Reach Net-Zero Energy Readiness

Through continuous Sankey diagram energy flow balancing, we systematically eliminate building energy leakage, step by step:

Step 1

SuperECBC Thermal Envelope

High-performance double-glazed fenestrations, insulated thermal breaks, and cool roofs lower internal heat gain by up to 25%.

Step 2

Decentralized Hydronics & Radiant Slabs

Using water instead of air as the heat transfer medium delivers comfortable cooling at significantly higher chilled water temperatures.

Step 3

On-Site Renewable Power Offset

Sizing rooftop and ground-mounted Solar PV plants (up to 1MW+) with grid synchronization and diesel generator lockouts.

ANNUAL EPI PERFORMANCE COMPARISON kWh/m²/Year
Standard Baseline Building 110 kWh/m²/yr
ECBC Compliant Envelope 85 kWh/m²/yr
Earthwise SuperECBC + Radiant Cooling 48 kWh/m²/yr
STAKEHOLDER INTEGRATION

Eliminating Silos Across the Project Lifecycle

True engineering efficiency happens when the MEP designer collaborates synchronously with architects, structural consultants, and field contractors from day zero.

WITH ARCHITECTS

Preserving Spatial Vision

We conceal services intelligently, optimize ceiling plenums, and design equipment louvers that enhance the facade rather than clash with it.

WITH STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS

Proactive Cutout & Sleeve Checking

All penetrations, shear wall sleeves, and seismic support brackets are modeled in 3D BIM prior to concrete casting, preventing core-cutting damage.

WITH CONTRACTORS

Accurate Build Schedules & BOQs

Our coordinated fabrication drawings prevent field re-routing, eliminate material wastage, and guarantee smooth testing and commissioning.

WITH OWNERS & OCCUPANTS

Verified ROI & Thermal Wellness

Clients enjoy reduced utility expenditure, prolonged equipment service lifecycles, and healthy indoor air quality certified to global standards.
