Whole-life Carbon
Embodied and whole-life carbon remain visible alongside energy and comfort decisions.
Detailed building and facade performance results in as little as 10 minutes.
CASCA runs dynamic simulation-backed option studies across whole-life carbon, operational energy, thermal comfort, acoustical comfort and visual comfort, with no specialist modelling workflow required.
Built for early-stage carbon decisions
Performance domains
See the trade-off, not just the individual result.
CASCA now brings whole-life carbon, operational energy, thermal comfort, acoustical comfort and visual comfort results into one reviewable performance picture, so teams can see when one design improvement creates pressure elsewhere.
Balanced option: keeps carbon, energy and comfort domains broadly aligned.
Operational Energy
Energy outputs can be reviewed against carbon and comfort rather than treated as a separate report.
Thermal Comfort
Overheating and comfort results help flag low-carbon options that may create poor room conditions.
Acoustical Comfort
Facade sound reduction and predicted internal noise can be reviewed as part of facade option selection.
Visual Comfort
Visual comfort outputs help reveal where glazing and shading changes affect the occupied room experience.
Why CASCA?
Make carbon, energy and comfort trade-offs visible earlier.
Option comparison
Compare competing design assumptions while geometry, assemblies and facade strategy can still change.

Product walkthrough
Compare options without waiting for a fully resolved model.
Use CASCA to turn early design assumptions into carbon, energy, comfort and certificate-style outputs that support option appraisal.
Where CASCA fits
More useful than a simple estimate. Lighter than a late-stage model.
Quick carbon estimates may miss operational energy and comfort risks.
Early-stage option studies with embodied carbon, simulation and comfort on one comparison basis.
Detailed tools can require information that is not available until decisions are already fixed.
