Onyx Solar provides technical consulting services regarding the field of green building through computer simulation methods which look for those solutions which could reduce energy costs and mitigate the impact on the environment. Thus, we count on the following service lines:

· Green building consulting and audit services, execution, LEED certification, GRIHA, eco-efficient building, Energy Conservation Building Code, ECBC 2007 performance, Building Star Rating Facilitation, etc.
· Building simulation and analysis tools: energy balance, solar analysis, photovoltaic energy production, shading and lighting studies, etc.

Onyx Solar is a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the Green Building Council of Spain (GBC España), the Green Building Council of United Kingdom and other related organizations and associations.

Onyx Solar works with a variety of sources and input environments (BIM models, 3D models, 2D drawings, sketches) and it provides analysis in the areas of energy, daylighting or shading effects, and thermal, water, air flow and acoustic studies.

Onyx Solar’s building simulation solutions allow us to address the thermodynamic complexities involved in the design of a building and to evaluate alternatives in advance.

For the first time, the construction industry counts on computer aided tools to get assessments which are very close to the physically validated results. Simulation provides a way to assess the benefits of particular schemes, to improve life cycle performance, and to evaluate several climate change mitigation measures.

The main advantage for simulation at the design stage is to integrate the different technical domains from the building and to identify key points in order to get the optimal solution.
