  • Assess & optimize wind loads on & performance of renewable energy systems
  • Fully automated workflow capable of working with any 3D model
  • Making a coach bus 20% more efficient will cut fuel consumption by 10%.
  • A single optimized truck can reduce its C02 emissions as much as 15 tons per year.

The Financial Benefits

  • Vehicles: a 20% cut in aerodynamic drag results in roughly a 15% reduction in fuel consumption for road vehicles
  • Renewable energy: reducing wind loads increases the number of suitable/profitable locations for solar and mapping wind patterns helps to optimize wind energy performance
