“We are delighted to be nominated in the ‘Green Building’ category of the Cleantech Awards,” said David Palmer co-founder and CEO of FenestraPro. “It is a recognition of the importance of innovative software in the area of environmental building design to improve energy efficiency and produce near zero energy new and refurbished buildings.”
According to co-founder and COO Simon Whelan, “By leveraging the emergence of Building Information Modelling (BIM), FenestraPro will ensure that designers can conceive better performing buildings and reduce the carbon footprint of new and existing buildings dramatically”.
FenestraPro is nominated by Dublin’s Cleantech Cluster, The Greenway, an initiative founded by Dublin City Council, Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin City University and the Dublin Airport Authority amongst others, to develop an internationally recognised green economic zone in Dublin.
The GCCA Later Stage Awards ceremony will be held on December 3, 2014 at the CleanTech Investing Seminar in Lausanne, Switzerland where winners for each category and the overall winner will be announced.
FenestraPro provides software that enables building designers to design more energy efficient non-domestic building façades. As the façade is the primary moderator between the internal and external environment it plays critical role in the design of energy efficient buildings. FenestraPro software provides users with key design parameters early in the design process relating to the environmental performance of the façade with regards to balancing heat loss, heat gain and natural daylighting, optimising the passive aspects of building design. FenestraPro is supported by DIT’s Hothouse and funded by Enterprise Ireland and is currently being used on a number of the largest commercial projects in the state.
