Understand design performance and cost

Wind, heat, sun and facade energy for every option, with a cost estimate next to each, while the design can still change.

Every option tested for wind, heat, sun and facade energy, with its cost, for cents per run.

A full CFD study takes two to three working days and costs about EUR 300 to 650 (USD 350 to 700, Orbital Stack, 2026). Most teams can afford to check only a few options, and the facade is often chosen without sun or cost figures.

With infrared.city, each option runs in 1 to 4 s after the geometry is loaded, from EUR 0.10 per simulation on Pro, against the same baseline and the same KPIs. You get pedestrian wind, felt heat, solar radiation and sun hours on every facade and roof, and a planning cost and energy estimate for each option.

One simulation is one model on one 512 m tile, so a design option costs cents. Start in the browser platform; to work in your own tools, use the Grasshopper, QGIS or ArcGIS plugins, or script your own dashboard with the agent skill.

from EUR 0.10Pro plan: EUR 6,000 a year for 600,000 tokens. Most models cost 10 tokens per 512 m tile (EUR 0.10); pedestrian wind comfort costs 50 (EUR 0.50). Pay-as-you-go: EUR 1 per simulation. CFD figure: USD 350 to 700 per study (Orbital Stack, 2026).

Test every option for cents, drop the weak ones in week one, and pay for detailed studies only on the best few.
