Dirah Ai | Climatic Design

DIRAH AI is an innovative tool designed for architects, builders, and developers to create structures that are in harmony with their environment, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation, especially in the tropics. These are regions that have special building requirements, but often buildings fail to adequately respond to the climate. This leads to high energy consumption in buildings and even has adverse effects on the health of building occupants. By inputting project location, building type, and desired functionalities, users can leverage AI-powered insights to optimize building designs to their micro climate. Beyond this, architects and builders can access climate data for any location on earth by simply dropping a pin on a map. DIRA analyzes local climate data points like temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation and radiation then incorporates researched climatic design principles. It then generates tailored recommendations on building orientation, material selection, passive cooling strategies, and water management systems. The recommendations are then fed back to AI model to generate an image prompt which is then fed to an image generation API for users to see how the recommendations can be applied.
