WiseBuid is a digital conceptual solutions assistant that allows you to actively participate in the design of your own energy-efficient home. It is an alternative to catalogue designs. The idea originated as part of a master’s thesis at the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology. Its author is Damian Granosik.

The proposed tool can act as an advisor – suggesting optimal solutions to the investor and designer, while leaving space for creative work.

‘Data has become an interactive design parameter that we are able to process, analyse and evaluate at the concept stage’, emphasises the creator of WiseBuild. 

‘Running simulations and optimisations allows us to analyse more cases in greater detail. This has an impact on the design concept, meeting the requirements of energy-efficient and economical construction. Insolation, shading, solar gains or visual comfort are factors that affect the quality of the designed space, and their analysis can contribute to informed design decisions’, says Damian Granosik.
