The problem

Start every project with site truth, not assumptions.

Early design still runs on assumptions. The facts of the site are usually checked late, after the big decisions are fixed. Then the team reworks.

NashZero is the seed of your project: the facts of your site, on the table from Day One.

How it works

Four steps. Very little input.

You draw the boundary. NashZero asks for very little else.

01

Draw your site boundary

Select or draw the site on the map. That is the starting point.

02

Get instant site & climate intelligence

Climate, terrain, solar, wind, hydrology and context for your site.

03

Compare design options

Weigh massing options side by side on energy, water, carbon, daylight and comfort.

04

Generate report-ready outputs

Take the analysis into your design report, client presentation or certification file.

Two ways to get answers

Physics-first. AI-fast.

Get answers in minutes while the design is still open. Run a full energy model whenever you need the detail.

Mode 01 / Minutes

Instant

AI results in minutes.

For exploring site, massing and options early, while the design is still open.

Mode 02 / Full simulation

Detailed

A full physics-based energy model.

For final checks, reports and certification support. It takes longer, and you choose when to run it.

Many quick optionsOne checked modelExplore fast, then confirm with full physics.

Platform

What you can analyse

One site model answers every early design question.

Site & context

Terrain, surroundings and constraints, read from your boundary.

Massing options

Test building forms and orientations against the same site.

Passive & active design

Weigh passive strategies against active systems, early.

Energy

Estimated energy demand for each design option.

Daylight

How much useful daylight each layout receives.

Shadow & solar radiation

Shadows cast and solar exposure through the year.

Wind & CFD

Airflow around and between buildings.

Urban heat island

How the scheme affects local heat build-up.

Water

Rainfall, run-off and water demand for the site.

Carbon

The carbon implications of each design option.

Reports & certification support

Report-ready outputs, including support for green-building certification.

See them run on a site you choose.

Why NashZero

Answers while the design is still open.

  1. 01

    Minimal input

    Start from a site boundary. Very little else is asked of you.

  2. 02

    Built for early design

    Use it before the design is fixed, when changing course is still easy.

  3. 03

    Visual option comparison

    See design options side by side, judged on the same measures.

  4. 04

    One workflow

    Site, climate and performance questions in one place, instead of many disconnected tools.

  5. 05

    Physics-first, AI-fast

    AI trained on physics simulations for speed, full energy models for depth.
