Econtext Co, as an international environmental consultancy, has been pursuing integrated environmental research in zero-energy building design and green building evaluation criteria. Architecture design process such as conceptual design, form development, mass-space composition, opacity proportion, and optimum shading system design has been optimized by integrated CFD analysis, energy and daylight simulation tools, collectively called Building Performance Simulation. Research and development (R&D) department in collaboration with architecture and design department has designed several energy efficient projects such as the “Pertican office” project in Isfahan science and technology town and the office complex in Qom industrial park.

Working on professional projects, this department has published several research papers in the best conferences and journals. We are collaborating with other architectural consultancies in the Middle East to design Zero-Energy buildings by environmental evaluating concept design, providing environmental guidelines to use passive strategies and optimizing design process.
