Stack Effect Simulation


The stack effect in high-rise buildings is a major cause of elevator malfunctions, noise, heating and cooling energy loss, and smoke spread during fires.


GLS analyzes architectural drawings to predict pressure distribution inside and outside buildings and identify structural vulnerabilities.

We go beyond simply identifying problems by providing practical solutions throughout every stage of architectural design and construction.
