Finch 3D

Analyzes architectural designs in real-time to evaluate energy efficiency, thermal performance, daylighting, and structural behavior as designs are being created. Provides immediate quantitative feedback on how design decisions impact overall building performance metrics.

Identifies structural, energy code, building code compliance, and design feasibility errors early in the design process. Flags issues that would typically require expensive redesigns if caught later in the project timeline.

Presents performance analysis results through intuitive visual representations including heat maps, performance overlays, and interactive 3D visualizations. Makes complex data accessible to design teams.

Uses graph-based technology to simultaneously optimize designs across multiple competing constraints such as energy performance, structural efficiency, cost, and spatial requirements. Identifies optimal solutions that balance multiple objectives.

Enables rapid design exploration and iteration by providing immediate performance feedback, eliminating the traditional weeks-long cycle of manual analysis and redesign. Allows architects to test multiple design directions quickly.

Analyzes complex spatial relationships between building elements using graph technology to understand how different design components interact and affect overall performance. Enables holistic design evaluation beyond individual element analysis.

Predicts and quantifies energy consumption, heating/cooling loads, and efficiency metrics for building designs. Provides detailed energy analysis to support sustainable design decisions and regulatory compliance.

Analyzes natural light distribution throughout building spaces and optimizes window placement, orientation, and shading to maximize daylighting while minimizing glare and heat gain. Provides visual and quantitative daylighting metrics.

Validates structural viability of designs by analyzing load paths, material efficiency, and constructability. Identifies structural issues early before detailed engineering design begins.

Compares multiple design alternatives side-by-side across performance metrics, cost, and other criteria. Enables data-driven decision-making between design options by quantifying differences.

Automatically checks designs against building codes, zoning regulations, and accessibility standards. Identifies compliance violations and provides guidance on remediation.
