01. Passive Design Optimization 

ARDOR Green optimizes passive design strategies for buildings, harnessing natural elements to enhance energy efficiency and occupant comfort:

  • Land Analysis and Solar Simulation: Conduct comprehensive land analysis and solar radiation simulations tailored to each project's orientation and configuration.

  • Thermal Comfort: Prioritize natural ventilation, solar orientation, and envelope design strategies to regulate indoor temperatures, minimizing reliance on heating and cooling systems.

  • Daylighting: Utilize façade simulations and calculations to maximize natural light penetration through strategic placement of windows, skylights, and light panels, reducing the need for artificial lighting.

  • Temperature Regulation: Manage temperature rise from solar radiation during peak hours using shading devices, ensuring comfortable indoor temperatures and reducing cooling demands.

  • Air Quality: Integrate passive ventilation techniques such as cross ventilation and stack effect to enhance air circulation, promoting healthier indoor environments with reduced indoor air pollutants.

02. Building Energy Simulations

  • ARDOR Green utilizes specialized software recognized by international energy efficiency standards, such as Design Builder, IESVE, OpenStudio, to conduct comprehensive building energy analysis and simulation throughout various project stages:
  • Conceptual Design Stage: Conducts simple box simulations of multiple shell and shape options to provide preliminary energy consumption insights. This allows for cost and efficiency comparisons early in the project, integrating inputs from architecture, electrical engineering, and landscape design to align with project budget and sustainability goals.

  • Detailed Design and Construction Documents Stage: Performs detailed simulations that adhere to stringent standards like ASHRAE 90.1 or QCVN 09. This phase delivers a comprehensive report on building energy consumption, including detailed assessments of energy savings percentages. Recommendations cover shell construction details and specifications for energy-consuming systems such as HVAC, lighting, and pumps.

03. Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling

ARDOR Green integrates hydrodynamic calculation software to support investors and design consultants in evaluating the impact of design modifications on ventilation and energy conservation strategies. This service provides several key benefits:

  • Proposal of optimal land planning designs to enhance natural ventilation effectiveness and mitigate pollution from surrounding sources.
  • Assessment of how façade and layout designs influence natural ventilation strategies, such as cross ventilation and stack ventilation.
  • Assurance that design documents meet stringent domestic and international standards for indoor air quality.
  • Evaluation of thermal comfort to ensure occupant well-being.
  • Enhancement of natural ventilation measures to reduce reliance on active air conditioning systems, while still maintaining thermal comfort for occupants.

04. Day-lighting Strategies & Analysis

  • Both natural and artificial lighting strategies are crucial for developing sustainable buildings and achieving green certification.
  • ARDOR Green utilizes simulation software to recommend optimal solutions for enhancing natural light penetration through strategic placement of windows and skylights. This approach not only improves indoor lighting quality but also reduces reliance on artificial lighting, thereby lowering construction costs and enhancing existing building efficiency.
  • Balancing natural lighting efficiency with the need to minimize thermal radiation and glare intrusion is essential. Through detailed simulation analysis, ARDOR Green determines appropriate glass window ratios to optimize these factors.
  • Evaluation simulations are conducted to ensure compliance with lighting standards such as illuminance levels, Annual Solar Exposure (ASE) for glare, and Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) for natural lighting space ratio.
  • ARDOR Green also performs analyses and calculations on visual quality to propose design improvements that enhance lighting comfort for building occupants.

05. Product Specification and Selection

With extensive experience collaborating with distributors and a deep understanding of green certification requirements, ARDOR Green assists investors and contractors in selecting materials and equipment that meet stringent criteria while balancing factors such as investment costs, maintenance requirements, operational efficiency, and life cycle costs.

  • We offer careful consideration of investment costs, maintenance needs, operational values, and life cycle costs when recommending materials and equipment.
  • ARDOR Green has developed a comprehensive database library of green materials and equipment that adhere to rigorous energy efficiency standards, life cycle impacts, and environmental certifications such as EPD (Environmental Product Declarations), ISO standards, and more.
