Our faรงade design platform identifies sustainable, energy-reducing solutions for architects, designers and engineers.
Companies Optimizing their Designs
Benefits
The faรงade can control more than 57% of a buildingโs overall energy usage and is a significant influence on the comfort of occupants. Identifying optimal design and specification solutions for the faรงade from early stages in design mitigates project cost during construction and reduces the running cost of the building itself.
Optimize overall building performance
Analyze thermal performance to meet code and understand passive solar heat gain and natural daylighting.
Seamlessly integrated into BIM workflows
Understand facade performance in real-time using our integrated Revit application.
Streamline your design workflow by at least 30%
Identify optimal faรงade design solutions and eliminate late-stage redesign.
Mitigate project cost and reduce energy use
Determine thermal performances in iterative design to save on project cost.
Features
From early-stage conceptual design to late-stage detailed design, FenestraPro is proven to guide designers to the optimal faรงade performance, eliminate the risk of late-stage redesign, meet local code compliance, and optimize projects for occupant comfort.
Architect

Case Studies
AECOM Designs Intricate Building Envelopes in NYC
FenestraPro enabled designers to continuously ensure compliance with thermal performances and glass-to-wall standards as design proposals were developed in Revit.
Case Studies
AECOM Designs Kuwait International Airport
FenestraPro was used to examine the implications of substantial glazing on specific orientations and the impact it would have in terms of thermal performance.
Case Studies
Page/ Investigates Glass-To-Wall Ratios
Designers used FenestraPro to experiment with the implications of a range of glass to wall ratios while exporting data to comparatively analyze the results.
