Thermal modelling is how Solutionair determines exactly how much heating, cooling, and ventilation a home needs to perform at its best. Using a detailed three-dimensional model of the building, we simulate how the home will respond to different seasons, weather conditions, and patterns of use—before construction even begins.
This data-driven approach replaces guesswork with precision. Instead of relying on generic assumptions or conservative estimates, systems are designed specifically for each home, ensuring they are properly matched to its size, layout, and construction.

- Scope of use
- New builds and major renovations
- Architecturally designed or complex homes
- Airtight or high-performance buildings
- Projects where predictable comfort and efficiency are required
- Why it matters
Poorly sized systems are one of the leading causes of uneven temperatures, reduced comfort, and excessive energy consumption. While oversized systems are most of the time either on or off—resulting in periods of over- or underperformance—undersized systems struggle to perform at all.
Thermal modelling ensures every component is correctly sized and coordinated, reducing performance risks and delivering consistent comfort, improved efficiency, and reliable long-term results.
- How it works
- A three-dimensional model of the building is created to simulate real-world performance.
- Heating, cooling, and ventilation loads are calculated for the home and for individual spaces
- The analysis considers layout, construction, insulation, glazing, orientation, airtightness, and local climate conditions.
- Calculations are carried out using recognised modelling methods aligned with international standards.
- For specifiers
Scope of analysis
- Whole-building and room-by-room heating, cooling and ventilation loads
- Suitable for standard residential through to high-performance and airtight homes
Methodology and standards
- Three-dimensional thermal modelling used to simulate building behaviour
- Load calculations aligned with recognised international HVAC sizing methodologies
- Local New Zealand climate data applied
Design and coordination value
- Supports early HVAC system selection and layout
- Reduces oversizing and underperformance risk
- Assists coordination between architectural, services, and construction teams
Typical outputs
- Space-specific load data
- Heating / Cooling requirements aligned to building performance
- Clear basis for system sizing and specification
