Building Performance means buildings that work

We’re building assets, financial, social and sustainable, but do you know what you’re getting?

Building performance engineering is the link between each building and the people who use them.

InsideOut delivers on the objectives of those who develop, own and occupy buildings both now and in the future.

Why wouldn’t you want to know how the building will work, how it will last, and how occupants will fare, before you build? This is where working with InsideOut early in the project is a huge benefit.

The challenges of the climate and occupancy can be met by optimising systems and designs to meet the function of the building and the prevailing loads. The important thing is to use the right ones in the right place at the right time and that is unique to your building.

Purposeful

Every building has a purpose and it is important to establish what it is designed to provide.

What do you need for your occupants and what do you need from your building?

Resourceful

At InsideOut our focus is on buildings that work for people, without costing the earth to construct or run. 

By understanding the operation of a building at the design stage we often find ways to save on energy, materials and systems, beating standard code design with a more responsive envelope.

Effective

When people use their building, it should be a resource not a constraint. The building’s design – its form, façades, materials, and services – all affect energy efficiency, the thermal environment, moisture management, indoor air quality and light levels. 

Using the building as intended shouldn’t lead to unexpected outcomes.

Valuable

Planning for a useful building that will stand the test of time, means that we get the value of a building that works. 

This approach results in resilient and energy-efficient buildings that offer a more stable and comfortable indoor environment.

Buildings that work give back

OUR APPROACH

For a return on investment, invest in returns

InsideOut gives building owners, occupiers, and design and operational teams, access to technical and integrated consultancy by:
  • Specification development to support energy and indoor environment outcomes
  • Design choice support and avoidance of conflicting design
  • Reducing unnecessary cost and ensuring value
  • Identifying risks affecting durability, operation, and occupancy
  • Supporting design and compliance through modelling and simulation
Our expertise can help you address how designs and choices will be integrated into your project to achieve successful outcomes.
