Evidence

Research, methodology, and perspectives on operational intelligence.

Engineering principles, technical architecture, and thinking from FutureTherma on the thermal performance gap, operational evidence, and the future of built-environment assurance.

Research & Methodology

Built on engineering principles, not assumption.

FutureTherma's architecture, sensing methodology, and evidence structure are grounded in first-principles thermal engineering. This section sets out the technical foundations we publish openly; commercial validation relationships and detailed technical data sit outside the public site.

Sensing methodology

Multi-parameter sensing — air temperature, Mean Radiant Temperature, and system state — chosen to reflect what occupants actually experience.

Deterministic architecture

Control logic that is bounded, repeatable and auditable, with AI applied only in an advisory capacity.

Evidence structure

The 5C model for converting operational data into a structure usable by operators, boards and funders.

IEQ & occupant-outcome methodology

How the same sensing and intelligence layer structures indoor environmental quality and occupant-outcome evidence — autonomously, and without self-reported data.

Insights

Analysis, evidence, and sector thinking.
