Spatial Analytics in Action

example Minimize Energy Consumption
It’s crucial to understand the energy consumption entities while designing a residential or commercial building. Spatial analytics allows you to analyze data on solar radiation, wind patterns, and microclimate. So you can optimize building orientation, facade design, and landscaping. You will be able to reduce the building’s reliance on artificial heating and cooling system which is more sustainable and energy efficient.
Optimize Project Layout
When designing a project, the goal should include minimizing travel time and better workflow for everyone. 

With DBF’s geospatial analytics, you can analyze people and vehicle movement in existing scenarios, identify bottlenecks, and optimize the project layout with a new facility.  It allows you to simulate different layouts and predict how people and vehicles will move through the space so you can ensure efficient workflow and reduce travel distances.
Smart Site Selection & Feasibility Studies
Choosing the right location for your site allows you to build a project for more than a hundred years.

Our predictive geospatial analytics gives you data-driven location analytics to visualize real-time data with location-based market dynamics so you can test multiple scenarios and choose the best site for your project.

Frequently
asked questions

Common questions from our prospects.

How accurate is the Data?

All our data is geolocated and relates directly to your site and building or urban district. We overlay a range of  different data sets so our customers don’t need to worry about bringing in data such as climate and context, everything is available right at your fingertips. We also highlight the source of our data in the asset manager. If you wish to work with your own datasets, drag and drop them into the tool easily.

How does the tool meet multiple objectives and targets?

Using multi-objective optimization, our tool is designed to meet multiple targets efficiently and effectively. However, there are instances where trade-offs or conflicting objectives arise. For example, you might specify a low maximum height for a building while also requiring an extremely high total floor area.

In such cases, our user interface will gently alert you to the conflict. The system then provides a trade-off solution, balancing the conflicting requirements as best as possible. This ensures you are informed about the trade-offs and can make decisions based on a clear understanding of the design limitations and possibilities.

What data sources are used by DBF?

We provide extensive project contextual data, encompassing maps, satellite imagery, 3D terrain models, building information, road networks, land use, social media data, and local weather station-based wind and solar data. Additionally, we offer flexibility to integrate proprietary data into your solution, either on-premises or via a hybrid configuration, seamlessly integrated with our spatial analytics.

What does a site analysis include?

Whenever building design or urban design processes start, a site is to be selected, or it is appointed. A site analysis is a part of the architectural process that includes a study about the site where the building is to be made. Site analysis should include the climatic, geographical, historical, social, legal, and infrastructural context of a given site. There are many ways to represent site analysis. The climatic analysis includes the study of climatic data of a particular region where the site is based. For that, charts are included, for example, sun path, and wind rose. Geographical analysis can include soil type examination and water table. Social and historical analysis, along with context analysis, can give an idea of orientation and typology. Also, legal aspects and by-laws are reviewed under site analysis. It is done in 3 stages- research, analysis, and finally synthesis.
