Case Study: FenestraPro achieves more efficient, energy-smart facade design with Softjourn's cloud-based Java tool

FenestraPro boosts building design efficiency with Softjourn

FenestraPro, a technology company based in Dublin, Ireland, wanted to create a platform to help architects design more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient buildings. They approached the vendor, Softjourn, Inc., with the challenge of developing a cloud-based Java tool to streamline the design process and provide critical technical guidance during the early stages of building facade design.

Softjourn designed and developed a custom software solution that informs architects about implications such as glazing limits, daylight analysis, and cost indications based on a building's geometry and location. The results included a more efficient design process, enhanced decision-making, and optimized daylight analysis for architects. The cloud-based platform developed by Softjourn also improved collaboration and provided real-time compliance checking, ultimately reducing the time and effort required for manual analysis and preventing the need for costly redesigns.
