Our team is firmly active in the expansion and development of environmental design and its assesment tools. We are engaged with many universities accross the globe providing courses, lectures and workshops and regularly publish research papers on various topics. We are constantly involved in research projects and consider transfer of knowledge as ways of enriching and updating our practice.

The Nef of Versailles is 60m long and 8.50m deep, and is oriented south-west. The 4m tall windows bring bright daylight and sun in the afternoon. The building is built with stone and brick that provide the necessary thermal inertia to naturally stabilise temperatures.
The project exhibits the natural physical quantities inside the Nef and their variation through space and time: the thermal sensations (°C), the light (lux) and the solar radiation (kWh/m²). These are calculated based on the statistical weather data recorded from the nearest weather station, averaged hourly over the period 2009-2019.
The climate of Paris has four distinct seasons, and varying sky conditions across the year, which are represented in the installation. The average high temperature during the hottest month is 24.8°C, whereas the average low of the coldest month is 3.4°C. The annual average is 12.8°C.
