Data Engineering & Integration
Collect, clean, and integrate diverse datasets (climate, material, energy use, geospatial).
Develop data pipelines to support AI/ML workflows and simulation models.
Integrate AI models into BIM platforms (e.g., Revit, Rhino/Grasshopper) and digital design tools.
Performance Simulation & Predictive Analytics
Develop predictive models for building performance (thermal, energy, daylight, ventilation).
Use AI to simulate real-world conditions (weather, occupancy, operational patterns).
Validate model outputs against real-world or simulated performance data.
Collaboration & Project Delivery
Work closely with architects, building services engineers, planners, and sustainability consultants.
Translate AI outputs into practical, code-compliant engineering solutions.
Contribute to design reports, technical submissions, and client deliverables.
AI Strategy, Market Research & Cost-Benefit Analysis
Support client engagements by assessing emerging AI platforms, tools, and technologies relevant to the built environment and sustainability
Conduct structured technology benchmarking and market scans (e.g. generative design tools, digital twins, energy optimisation platforms)
