Designing for Outdoor Comfort in Extreme Environments and Challenging Terrain with LINK Arkitektur
Presented in collaboration with:
Microclimate design in cold and windy environments with challenging terrain can be difficult to simulate early in the design process. LINK Arkitektur are experts in such projects in the Scandinavian climate and share insights from recent studies. In particular, they show attendees how importing complex terrain CAD files can be simplified using the correct tools and look at outdoor thermal comfort in areas with high cold stress.
Lead Computational Designer
Mathias is an Architectural Engineer, MSc.Eng.Arch, with a focus on daylight, computational design, facade design, sustainability and workflow/plugin development. At LINK Arkitektur, he is implementing building simulation processes, digital workflows, and lecturing internally and externally in Grasshopper and wind comfort (CFD, OpenFOAM) and daylight simulations.
Computational Design Architect
Joel is an architect and urban designer. His work experience includes acting as Computational Design Student Worker in Copenhagen, Denmark, as well as a Project Architect at Planhouse in Ecuador. Joel holds a Master in Architecture, specialization in Sustainable Urban Design at Lund University, Sweden. He studied as a fully-funded Global Professional Scholar from the Swedish Institute (SI).

Dr. Naghman Khan has a PhD in building simulation and is a founding member of the CIBSE Building Simulation Group and co-author of CIBSE AM11: Building Performance Modeling. He works with SimScale and technology providers to rapidly accelerate digital transformation for a sustainable built environment and is a published researcher on energy efficiency, microclimate simulation, and sustainable buildings.
“The SimScale platform has allowed us to develop and test scenarios including ventilation flow paths and understanding the dynamics between building fabric, airtightness, window natural ventilation design, and CO2 concentrations in various utilisation scenarios. The platform has given us quality, visually digestible output to inform decision-making and to compare results against our monitored data from our extensive post-occupancy studies. Working with SimScale has allowed us to study our learning spaces in a way we never have before. It has helped inform us on which design strategies may provide the biggest impact on performance. The visual outputs have real value, not just in terms of informing our decision-making, but potentially in communicating how classrooms can work and feel to clients and stakeholders.”
“Smartlouvre decided to recruit the expertise of SimScale because SimScale recognized the unique nature of the product and the fact that its performance was complex and challenging to simulate. SimScale’s expertise in the architecture, engineering, and construction sector meant they had a clear appreciation of all the challenges with simulating MicroLouvre performance criteria.”
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.
