Advanced performance modelling to support Part L, Part O, SAP, SBEM, and BREEAM pathways.
Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM) is a powerful analytical tool used to understand how buildings perform throughout the year under real-world conditions. By modelling changing weather, internal gains, occupancy patterns, and ventilation strategies, DSM provides a detailed picture of thermal comfort, energy demand, and overheating risk.
At MES Building Solutions, DSM is used to support informed design decisions, demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations, and optimise building performance. Our modelling provides meaningful insight that supports SAP, SBEM, Part L, Part O, and BREEAM requirements.
Whole-Building Insights
Detailed modelling of design, fabric, and systems performance over time
Design Optimisation
Testing and comparison of design options to balance performance, cost, and architectural intent
Robust Technical Analysis
Simulations based on recognised methodologies, software, and climate datasets
Compliance Support
Clear outputs structured for Building Control and planning submissions
When Dynamic Simulation Modelling is Needed
DSM is typically required where simplified assessment methods cannot adequately represent how a building will perform in real-world conditions.
DSM is particularly valuable for complex, large-scale, or non-standard developments where early performance insight can reduce design risk and support regulatory compliance.
