Learn how to use PreDesign

PreDesign is a tool mainly used to obtain information about the climate and environment that will help you make informed decisions about your building design. It is used before the designing starts, as a part of your research into your building project, and helping to shape ideas and create inspirations for designs based on local climate and environment factors. 

What PreDesign DOES NOT do:

• It does not tell you how to apply design strategies to your project (although this article will provide  you with some guidance)
• It does not guarantee compliance with energy or green building codes or standards.
• It will not be able to provide guidance for a specific 3D model you are working on (it only looks at building type and climate history and provides suggestions based on that).
