FORT Habitat

Digital Twins for Real Estate Performance

Guaranteed comfort — without increasing CAPEX

Sustainable, ESG-driven solutions with proprietary innovations

Engineering decisions based on human, environmental, and system impact

Flows

poor navigation reduces revenue

Energy

inefficient systems increase OPEX

Real estate projects lose value before they are even built

One solution to optimize building performance before construction

We help developers

Where value is lost

Infrastructure

overdesign increases CAPEX

Climate

heat, wind, sand impact usability

Predict performance,
cost, and user experience
Optimize engineering and infrastructure
Reduce CAPEX, OPEX, and project risks

Acts as an integration layer between technology, engineering, and real estate development — turning complex solutions into measurable business value.

It is a system of environmental digital twins that models how a project will perform in real conditions — from energy consumption and microclimate to human movement and space usage.

It replaces assumptions with data-driven validation, allowing developers to test scenarios, optimize systems, and avoid costly mistakes early in the lifecycle.

Climate & Comfort Twin

Case studies

Proven results from real projects, demonstrating measurable impact on CAPEX, OPEX, and building performance

Comprehensive works were carried out at Europe’s tallest skyscraper, including design audit, solar radiation modeling, commissioning verification, identification of system imbalance, and certification of general and smoke ventilation systems for project handover.

Using the digital climate twin Clima Zoom, the originally designed chilled beam system was found to be inefficient and capital-intensive. A cold air-to-air ceiling system with RU-effect air distribution was proposed, ensuring uniform temperature distribution and reduced equipment load.

LAKHTA CENTER

The building is equipped with an automated weather station on the 462 m spire for climate monitoring.

Clima Zoom

Comprehensive engineering analysis and digital design were carried out for a large-scale redevelopment project. Using digital twins Data Zoom (energy) and Clima Zoom (climate), key systems were optimized: precise loads for chiller plants were defined, wind flows and odor dispersion were analyzed, and the indoor microclimate for panoramic apartments was simulated. These solutions prevented overinvestment in equipment and ensured stable comfort for residents.

Clima Zoom

Full-cycle design and implementation of engineering systems for a world-class museum. Using BIM technologies and digital twins Clima Zoom (climate) and Data Zoom (energy), systems were developed to maintain strict microclimate conditions for preserving unique artifacts, including the Imperial Fabergé eggs. Model accuracy was confirmed after commissioning, with only a 3% deviation from actual energy consumption. BIM optimization also preserved maximum exhibition space.
