A design prototype of the new infrared.city homepage: the story, the order of the sections and the language. Nothing here is wired to the product.
?icp=… or /c/…), so each campaign link lands on its
own variant.Fast metre‑resolution simulation for wind
01
We simulate the climate around and inside buildings — wind, heat, sun and daylight — at metre resolution, in seconds.
How much daylight actually reaches a desk on this floor, once the neighbours block the sky. Resolved floor by floor.
02
Everyone else ships an application. We ship the capability — so a product, a practice or a city becomes climate-aware without hiring a simulation team.
Climate physics, one API call away. Tiling, polling and merging are handled for you — you get a field back, not a job queue to babysit.
# pip install infrared-sdk from infrared_sdk import Client client = Client(api_key) run = client.run_area( polygon=aoi, analysis="thermal-comfort") heat = run.result() # → a field, in seconds

When the deployment has to fit you rather than the other way round — a city-scale layer, a bespoke workflow, or the engine inside your own environment.

All four run on the same engine. Pick the one that sounds like your week.
Put climate physics inside your platform without owning the physics.
API & SDK → 02See where heat is dangerous today, and where the budget should go.
Live layer → 03Submission-ready analysis in an afternoon, not a fortnight.
Workflows → 04Test options while they can still change, inside the tools you use.

“infrared.city allows us to test design options early on — it helps the designers make informed design decisions from the onset.”
“Real-time analysis that integrates directly into our design software — something most other tools simply can’t offer.”
“Rapidly optimizes design options for the best environmental outcomes — real value to our projects and design process.”
04 · Validation
| Model | Measured against | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal comfort | 2–4 K RMSE on temperate built-up scenes, no per-site calibration | Validated |
| Wind | High agreement against held-out CFD; benchmarked against AIJ wind-tunnel measurements | Screening |
| Daylight sky model | Byte-for-byte identical to the Radiance reference | Exact |
| Per-model studies | Underway; a consolidated overview is in preparation | In progress |
Tiles run in parallel — a district costs barely more time than a single site. Timings are typical and vary with connection.
Screening-grade. Good enough to compare options and find problems — not a certified measurement. We say so because it is what makes the rest trustworthy.

The layer answers street by street, 72 hours ahead — and with the what-if engine you plant trees and watch the answer change.
