Manage risk and deliver climate-comfortable outdoor spaces

​​Incorporating Orbital Stack into your design process introduces exciting—and valuable—possibilities for…

Smaller projects

Previously, urban microclimate simulation was too expensive for projects with relatively smaller budgets.

As a result, low-rise commercial and residential buildings are typically designed with little objective consideration of outdoor comfort—but Orbital Stack makes simulation and the design insights it provides a cost-effective option.

Larger projects

Due to their potential to massively change the local environment, large projects often incorporate wind simulation and testing. However, such analysis is usually reserved only for performance validation in the final design stages— when changes to the plan come with significant costs.

Plus, outdoor comfort is seldom considered, despite the high potential for localized effects to render outdoor spaces uncomfortable for their intended use.

For these large and expensive undertakings, Orbital Stack helps to mitigate risk by informing and validating plans throughout the early stages of the project design process—avoiding nasty surprises later on.

All projects

In the competitive world of architecture and design, an impressive pitch means the difference between a contract won and a missed opportunity.

Unfortunately, tight timelines and pre-commitment cost constraints mean that most proposals lack objective evaluation of outdoor comfort.

Orbital Stack changes the game, allowing you to include objective performance metrics (and vivid imagery) in every bid.
