Sefaira

Early-stage analysis for better building performance.

Sefaira

Definition

Sefaira’s analysis is nimble enough to keep up with the pace of conceptual and schematic design. Run full annual simulations powered by industry-accredited analysis engines, and get your building performance results in minutes instead of weeks.The metrics you needEnergy use and carbon emissionsUnderstand your design’s impact on energy cost and CO2 emissions while also measuring the potential impact of a renewable system.Thermal comfortSee how shading improves operative temperatures and measure the impact of window openings on air temperature.DaylightChoose between Daylight Factor, Direct Sun Exposure, and Annual Daylight outputs (including Spatial Daylight Autonomy sDA).HVACQuickly assess the impact of your architectural features on HVAC sizes and generate preliminary sizes to improve cost estimation.

In Depth

Sefaira provides energy and daylight analysis integrated with SketchUp and Revit. AI makes performance analysis accessible during early design through real-time feedback.
