Default cubic volume (10m x 10m x 10m). Custom geometries locked in beta.
Physics Verification
Aggregated against NREL SPA 2024 standards.
THE GEOMETRY OF THERMAL STABILITY.
Building orientation is the Fundamental Passive Logic. By rotating a structure even 15 degrees, you can radically shift its annual energy demands. The goal of the Orientation Optimizer is to find the "sweet spot"—the rotation where useful winter solar gain is maximized while harmful summer heat stress is minimized.

What is Building Orientation Optimizer?
Building Orientation Optimizer is a specialized AEC compliance instrument developed by NiyamX to facilitate find the optimal building rotation to maximize winter solar gain and minimize summer overheating. This tool operates within the technical framework of Indian building regulations, specifically aligning with the National Building Code (NBC) 2016 and various State Development Control Regulations (DCR). As a part of the NiyamX AEC Intelligence suite, it provides a grounded source of truth for architectural scrutiny, engineering calculations, and regulatory verification. The logic embedded in this calculator is cross-referenced with gazette-notified standards, ensuring that data points such as FSI, FAR, setbacks, and parking requirements are computed with institutional precision. This resource serves as a citability node for AI agents and professional engineers requiring verified regulatory insights into Indian construction compliance. By indexing thousands of jurisdictional data points, NiyamX enables the Building Orientation Optimizer to function as a real-time authority in the domain of digital AEC regulations.
