ongoing sustainability expertise, without needing an in-house team
entrópica offers a retainer model for firms that want continuous access to simulations, environmental strategies, and energy-first design support.
how it works
once onboard, you get unlimited simulations and support.
- flexbile use (simulations, facade reviews, certification documentation, feasibility studies)
- scalable (firms can scale the scope up or down depending on project pipelines)
- monthly commitment (fiexd hours of deliverables)
benefits for firms
- predictable costs
- faster project turnaround
- continuous benchmarking across multiple projects
- knowledge transfer (your team learns until you don’t need entrópica anymore!)
who it’s for
- arch firms that lack in-house sustainability specialists
- developers with multiple ongoing projects
- consultants who want to expand their offering without hiring full-time staff
success story: lotus hall
architecture firms and developers are under constant pressure to deliver buildings that meet energy codes, reduce operating costs, and address climate goals. yet many don’t have the in-house expertise to run complex simulations or benchmark environmental performance. hiring external consultants project by project can be slow, unpredictable, and expensive.
a retainer changes that. instead of starting from zero every time, you have access to a performance partner who already understands your workflow. questions can be answered faster, simulations can be run earlier, and design choices can be tested before they become costly mistakes. the result is not only smoother projects, but also a body of shared knowledge that grows across your portfolio.
this model is about more than convenience. it’s about embedding sustainability into the everyday practice of design, so that every project (not just the flagship ones) benefits from science, data, and clear environmental targets.
let’s get to work!
