Sefaira has launched a major upgrade to Sefaira Architecture, cloud-based software that enables project teams to design high-performance buildings by helping them understand their energy use, environmental impact and occupant experience. Sefaira Architecture now shares a technology platform with Sefaira Systems, facilitating better collaboration between architects and engineers in the early design stages. The upgrade also better facilitates passive design, particularly for residential buildings, schools and offices.
