Designed from your data, not from habit.
We model your product, your load and your climate before we build, so every cold room is sized to the job and priced on what it costs to own.
See how it works
The problem
A standard size is a guess that you pay for every month.
Most cold rooms are sized by rule of thumb: a familiar panel thickness, a familiar compressor, a familiar layout. It is quick, and it often means extra capacity running all day, or too little capacity struggling on a hot afternoon.
We replace the guess with a model. We simulate your room, test the options and show you the cost of each before you decide. Better decisions made early are the cheapest savings there are.
How it works
From your inputs to a design you can trust.
1
Capture your inputs
Product, volume, daily movement, door traffic, site climate andyour power tariff.
2
Model the load
We simulate heat gain, product load and airflow to size each part ofthe room.
3
Compare options
Two or three designs are costed side by side, including runningcost over the years.
4
Check it after build
Monitoring data is compared with the model, so the design isproven, not assumed. [CONFIRM]
What the model decides
Six decisions that set your cost to own.
Insulation thickness
Enough to hold temperature at your climate and tariff, without paying for more than the savings justify.
Refrigeration capacity
Compressor and evaporator sized to the real load, including pull-down and peak days.
Airflow and layout
Fan placement and stacking plans that keep temperature even through the whole room.
Equipment selection
Components matched to your duty cycle and part-load behaviour, not just peak demand.
Control strategy
Setpoints, defrost and staging tuned to your operation, to avoid wasted cooling.
Running cost forecast
A monthly and yearly power estimate for each option, before you commit.Weather Makers – AI & Design Intelligence: Page Content Page.
The difference
Rule-of-thumb design vs Design Intelligence.
| Typical builder | Weather Makers |

What you receive
Numbers you can take
to your finance team.
Every design comes with the figures behind it, in plain language.
- A plain-language summary of your design load
- Two or three design options, side by side
- Expected monthly running cost for each option
- Payback period against a standard build
- What each design choice is worth, so you can trade cost against savings

Questions
Common questions about our design approach.
What do you mean by AI?
We use simulation and AI-assisted design tools to size and compare designs faster and more accurately than rules of thumb. Engineers review everydesign. [CONFIRM: tools and methods you can name]
Does it cost more?
Design intelligence is part of how we quote. The goal is a lower cost toown, and your estimate shows build cost and running cost together. [CONFIRM: pricingapproach]
How accurate is the running cost estimate?
It depends on the quality of your inputs. Westate our assumptions, and we refine the estimate after a site visit. [CONFIRM: accuracyclaims]
Is it used on every project?
[CONFIRM: whether design modelling is applied to small walk-ins as well as large facilities.]
Can it be applied to an existing room?
Yes. For retrofits we model the existing room and compare upgrade options.
