The problem
How a building handles daylight shapes its energy use, its comfort, and its carbon footprint, yet most of those decisions are made early with crude tools and educated guesses. In Canada’s climate especially, getting it wrong is expensive, and the gap between design intent and real-world performance is a costly blind spot.
What we did
OptiSim transforms how Canadian architecture gets designed. It combines daylight simulation, real-time data, and augmented reality so architects can see how light will actually behave in a space before it is built, then optimise for it. The platform turns complex building-science modelling into something visual and immediate, and supports sustainability targets like LEED and net-zero reporting. It is backed by a portfolio of more than twenty patents.
The outcome
A smarter, light-optimised way to design sustainable buildings, closing the gap between how a building is drawn and how it actually performs.
