About
We are designers, planners, modellers and researchers working across buildings, cities, communities, regions, and the electricity grid. We specialise in systems-based decision support for climate-responsive development. Our practice model is collaborative, interdisciplinary and implementation-oriented.
Our journey
The practice began with a focus on building energy performance, simulation modelling and policy analysis. Over time, our work expanded across scales and sectors through system dynamics, spatial modelling, econometrics and analytical tools that support evidence-based decision-making.
This evolution reflects a consistent priority: linking analytical rigour with implementation pathways that strengthen planning and regulatory processes, support distributed energy integration and enable practical low-carbon transitions.
Who we are
We are designers, planners, modellers and researchers working across scales and sectors. Our expertise spans building science, urban planning, economics, modelling, machine learning, policy, and technology systems.
Our collective includes core members and project-specific collaborators. We work with academic partners, utilities, regulators, industry organisations, and civil society institutions to design and implement solutions in real contexts.
