Climate data engineers can actually use, delivered in 72 hours.
Get design-ready climate parameters without the data wrangling.
BuildForward™ transforms complex global climate models into the precise, site-specific design parameters your team needs for HVAC, structural, and civil applications.
Public climate datasets don't directly translate to engineering decisions.
- Model outputs, not observation-based
- Extreme values underestimated
- Wrong temporal resolution for design
- Missing variables engineers actually need
Your team wastes days fighting with climate data. Meanwhile, the actual design work waits — and you're still not sure the data are defensible.
Engineering-grade climate data, delivered in 72 hours.
BuildForward™ is a rapid delivery service designed to answer one question:
"What future do I need to design for?"
In 72 hours, we deliver a report with design-ready parameters for your project location.
What you get.
- Understanding of how climate has already changed for your project location and where it's headed.
- Clarity on how existing design parameters may shift over this century.
- Local context on secondary hazards like hail, wildfire, subsidence, and flooding.
It's about making better decisions today with the best available science.
Design parameters delivered
- Future ASHRAE Design Criteria
- Rainfall IDF Curves
- Extreme Wind Gust Return Periods
- Heating and Cooling Degree Days
- Solar and Wind Design Normals
- Extreme Dry- and Wet-Bulb Temperature Return Periods
Why BuildForward™ is different.
- Built by climate scientists who've delivered data for infrastructure projects at global engineering firms.
- Calibrated using 50,000+ weather stations, not generic model outputs.
- Defensible in technical reviews: peer-reviewed methods, quantified uncertainty, full documentation.
How it works.
- Step 1
Give us the project location
Tell us where you're building using the intake form.
- Step 2
We deliver your report in 72 hours
Site-specific climate criteria derived from our network of 50,000+ weather stations, with documented methodology and data sources.
- Step 3
Use the numbers with confidence
Design values ready for your basis of design. Technical support from the experts available if reviewers have questions.
Ready to support multiple disciplines.
Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing
ASHRAE design temperatures and humidity extremes for HVAC sizing, energy modeling, and equipment selection.
Structural
Wind speed return periods for building codes, structural design, and roof loading calculations.
Civil & Site
Rainfall IDF curves for stormwater design, drainage capacity, and site infrastructure planning.
