Elevator Pitch
We make cloud based software and solutions that deliver an easier, faster and more cost effective way to design, build and transform green buildings.
Smart Green Product
Sefaira Concept is a new-generation software tool which makes sustainability analysis of buildings possible right at the start of the design process when this has the biggest long-term impact on energy and carbon use. Sefaira’s smart use of our building physics engine, based in the Cloud, allows Concept to crunch huge amounts of complex data quickly. This leaves architects free to do their job best: to iterate and optimise multiple design factors to create the best possible, most sustainable and cost-effective green buildings. Sefaira is also using its technology and energy expertise to create a set of platforms for the whole green building ecosystem and supply chain. This allows solutions to be tailored very specifically for a wide range of energy or materials providers and a diverse set of property owners (from corporate investors to individual homeowners) but based on a unified technology platform. Sefaira’s ambition is to facilitate the growth and integration of the green building industry to help remove barriers to building green.
