Event recap: How to lower costs and prevent overheating with parametric fa莽ade design
海角视频 recently launched its parametric design provision, offering developers, architects and quantity surveyors a robust toolset to reduce the cost of residential apartment buildings.
The event was hosted by Ben Richardson, director of sustainability and physics, who demonstrated how 海角视频鈥檚 evidence-based approach to parametric facade design delivers tangible savings for stakeholders per residential apartment, whilst maintaining aesthetic and sustainability goals. The tool helps bring more detailed design earlier in the planning process and helps de-risk planning applications.
We were joined by residential developers, architects, quantity surveyors and project managers who want to uphold high sustainability standards, meet the architectural vision whilst reducing cost and risk.

Ben Richardson
Director
Ben鈥檚 experience and knowledge of building physics and sustainability ensure that the buildings he designs consume less energy, are more comfortable to occupy, and have minimal environmental impact.
He uses his knowledge and experience to evaluate and drive the design from concept to construction. His previous employment at the Building Research Establishment (BRE) provided a platform for him to develop a strong practical understanding of buildings from the hands-on testing and monitoring he carried out. This allows him to link his knowledge of building performance in theory to building performance in reality.
Ben has almost 20 years of experience in the built environment, specifically dedicated to building physics鈥� impact on occupant comfort and experience, while simultaneously minimising energy consumption and carbon emissions.
