Element Design works in partnership with Joel Gustafsson Engineers (JG Engineers) on various projects dedicated to the energy transition toward a decarbonized urban environment. Its team are experts in digital design for construction, using advanced ‘Fabrication / Building Integrated Modelling’ (FIM & BIM), and specialist computational fluid dynamic (CFD) tools. JG Engineers is a leading building services, M&E, and design firm with expertise in a wide variety of environmental simulation, HVAC design, and planning.
They have successfully modeled the exact placement, sizing, and risk associated with deploying utility-scale air-source heat pumps (ASHP) in city centers, a core part of the decarbonization strategy for cities worldwide, and have used the same approach in modern data center design. At the core of their design methods are advanced AI-powered software tools like SimScale.
Co-founder and CEO
David Heiny is committed to empowering every engineer to innovate faster by making high-fidelity engineering simulation truly accessible. He holds degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and CSE from Georgia Tech and Technical University Munich.
Director
Joel has over 13 years of experience in environmental design, energy strategy development, and mechanical and electrical engineering. He is based in Cambridge and has worked across a range of sectors. Many of his projects have set important precedents that support reducing the environmental impact of the built environment. Joel was previously Principal Engineer at Max Fordham LLP and holds a PhD. in Atmospheric Chemistry from The University of Cambridge.
Founder and Design Lead
Sam Bromley, Founder and Design Director at Element Design, has expertise in simulating air source heat pumps (ASHP) in city centers and has worked on large-scale projects in London and beyond where ASHP has been placed on rooftops and car parks. He has extensive experience in data center design and delivering geometrically complex DfMA and offsite productized solutions to tier-1 contractors in the Architectural, engineering, and construction industries.
SimScale is the world’s first cloud-native SaaS engineering simulation platform, giving engineers and designers immediate access to digital prototyping early in the design stage, throughout the entire R&D cycle, and across the entire enterprise. By providing instant access to a single fluid, thermal, and structural simulation tool built on the latest cloud computing technology, SimScale has moved high-fidelity physics simulation technology from a complex and cost-prohibitive desktop application to a user-friendly web application, accessible to any designer and engineer in the world.
