Vikalp - an alternate design approach
Engineering buildings that perform.
Multi-disciplinary MEP and sustainability consultants. We replace thumb-rule engineering with simulation and digital twinning, so owners make life-cycle decisions backed by evidence.

Vikalp: the alternate
We challenge conventional ideas and follow an integrated design process - the pre-requisite for high performance buildings.
Our strength lies in deploying computer simulations to improve MEP performance through detailed analysis of architecture, landscape and the disciplines around them. The result is a blend of building physics and engineering that lowers operating cost, raises the sustainability index, and becomes a distinguishing feature of the project among its contemporaries.
More about AEON- Thermal comfort and indoor environment quality
- Heat islands and micro-climate generation
- CFD models and airflow studies
- Daylighting and enhanced ventilation
- Involvement from design inception to commissioning
Four disciplines, one integrated team
Design, sustainability, modelling and evaluation are handled by the same team, so decisions taken early stay accountable through to handover and beyond.
Building Information Modelling
AEON is BIM compliant. We model building services in a coordinated digital environment, integrate them with architecture and structure, and resolve conflicts before they reach site.

Full electro-mechanical design across mechanical, electrical, public health, fire and low voltage systems - from concept through to commissioning.
Explore SED →Environmental & Sustainability Design
Simulation-led sustainability work: climate, daylight, airflow and energy studies that shape the building before it is built, and the certifications that verify it afterwards.
Explore ESD →Post Occupancy Services Evaluation
Evaluation of buildings in use - what was installed, how it performs, and where energy, water and comfort can be recovered.
