How it works

An adaptive façade that balances comfort, daylight, glare and energy

A deep-learning surrogate is trained in your browser on building-performance simulation data, then deployed inside a model-predictive controller that re-optimises the shading configuration in closed loop — responding in real time to the occupant.
