About Preoptima

The industry challenge...

We don't have much time

The embodied carbon of new buildings required to support population increase and greater urbanisation will use a staggering 80% of the global carbon budget left to meet the Paris Agreement by 2050. Without addressing this it is impossible to meet global targets! Unsurprisingly, regulations for embodied carbon are coming fast.

Existing decision tools cannot account for this: decisions are made too late to have any material impact, and as a result, at the end of the design phase carbon reductions of only 3-5% are typically achieved.

The preoptima solution

We are here to make an impact that actually moves the needle in fighting the climate crisis 🌍

Introducing PreoptimaBUILDING, our innovative web app, and Preoptima API, the powerful API designed to revolutionise the way you approach sustainable building design. Like a Carbon Twin, Preoptima mirrors your every design choice, instantly evaluating the whole life carbon (WLC) impact of your decisions.

With both the PreoptimaBUILDING web app and Preoptima API at your disposal, you'll be fully equipped to embrace carbon avoidance and make a tangible difference in the fight against climate change. Set a new industry standard by leveraging our groundbreaking technology to revolutionise early-stage design and ensure a more sustainable future for all.

PreoptimaBUILDING Web App

By harnessing the power of geolocation and real-time analysis, PreoptimaBUILDING allows you to visualise and understand the carbon footprint of your projects from the earliest stages, helping you avoid embodied carbon and prevent emissions from the outset. Our web app is transforming carbon pioneering in early-stage design and the entire world of building WLC analysis. With unprecedented accuracy in generating material quantities based on your imported massing model(s), you can explore how design choices impact the whole life carbon performance of your building.

We model all structural systems and allow customised wall assemblies so that the assessments reflect your truest design intentions. You can test as many design variants as you want in real-time and enjoy unparalleled control over a multitude of parameters for structural systems, building envelopes, MEP systems, data underpinning calculations, and reporting formats.

If you are starting from a blank slate, our full generative design capability, powered by AI and our patent-pending algorithms, lets you explore the complete design space given a site and a target floor area.

 

Preoptima API

Complementing our web app is the Preoptima API, an essential tool for integrating our cutting-edge technology with your existing systems. By connecting our Preoptima API to your workflow, you'll gain unprecedented access to real-time carbon impact data, an accurate bill of quantities, and associated material and structural impact information.

Our API can receive inputs ranging from a simple building location and target floor area to a full massing model with specific inputs for the design options you want to analyse and assess. The API returns material quantities with unmatched precision and offers full transparency over the whole life carbon calculations and the dataset underpinning them.

Whether you are a firm proficient in computational design or a software company looking to bring carbon assessment to your customers, our API is the most effective way to offload the heavy load of whole life carbon assessment, design pioneering, and compliant reporting. Experience seamless collaboration as your Carbon Twin works alongside you, providing valuable insights to help you create a sustainable, low-carbon future for the built environment.
