[Expertise] Thermal optimization of factories
Factories consume a large amount of energy for various operations, such as heating, cooling, lighting, machinery, etc. A significant portion of this energy is wasted as heat, which not only increases the operational costs but also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. Thermal optimization can help factories to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint, while also enhancing
[Expertise] Thermal comfort: how to face more frequent heat waves? – Part 2
In our Part 1 article, we have introduced Thermal comfort principle and some essential passive design ideas to optimize buildings for frequent heatwaves. In this article, we continue to introduce other simple yet essential ways to avoid thermal discomfort in a building. Optimization of the envelope Thermal insulation, compactness and glazing rates should be optimized to minimize heating and cooling
Our clients recommend us: Elisabeth Muzeau, General Manager of Techné, China
In the wake of Paris Agreement, companies are being pushed more and more to lower their carbon footprint. TERAO can help to assess the carbon footprint of companies, from the upstream to downstream emissions. Here is an example, with Techné Shanghai, which already had a carbon footprint calculation made by their Headquarter, but needed a local calculation for the Chinese
[Company news] TERAO Asia moving to new office in Shanghai Wuding Road
We are happy to announce that Shanghai team has moved to a new office, in no. 555 Wuding Road shared office space. As we are green building consultants, apart from the rent price, we also chose our office according to its green features, let’s discover which ones together: Location and Transportation: Quality of Space: Quality of food and water:
[Expertise] Thermal comfort: how to face more frequent heat waves? – Part 1
In the current context of ever more numerous and intense heat waves, the notion of thermal comfort in buildings is more relevant than ever. In June, France experienced temperatures 10°C to 15°C above seasonal norms. July and August also brought their share of heat waves! Beyond national climate objectives and the reduction of its impacts, the construction sector must also
[EVENT RECAP] DUSA “Strategies to Achieve Carbon Neutrality” Roundtable

It has certified 85 million square meters in 26 countries, over the past 20 years. The HQE™ certification is intended for projects under construction, renovation or in operation, whether residential or not, as well as urban planning and infrastructures operations HQE is
[Expertise] Energy modeling: a powerful tool for sustainable buildings
Energy modeling is a whole building simulation process that engineers, architects, and researchers use to model the energy consumption of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, electronic equipment, and process loads. The simulation can give hourly time step results or even sub-hourly time step results (for example 15 minutes) which makes it possible to carry out a detailed analysis of the thermal
[Expertise] How to optimize buildings airflow and air temperature with Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD)
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) is a tool used to analyze fluid flows and temperature. In the case of building and environmental engineering, it can be used for internal spaces (large spaces such as warehouses, exhibition spaces or workshops) or external spaces (districts, neighborhoods or cities). In internal space, CFD is used to calculate thermal comfort via the calculation of airspeed, air temperature, “age” of air
[Earth Day 2022] Are you taking action? – Personal and Company level
This year Earth Day was on 22nd April, 2022. As we like to remind at TERAO through our daily job and daily actions, Earth Day should be every day, as sustainability and climate change mitigation cannot be met in only one day of action.
