PareVia combines EnergyPlus simulation, XGBoost surrogate modelling, and NSGA-III multi-objective optimization - delivering Pareto-optimal building designs in hours, not weeks. One desktop application. No coding required.
The full simulation-optimization pipeline inside one desktop application.
Set design parameters - WWR, shading depth, glazing type, orientation - with ranges and constraints in the GUI.
Latin Hypercube Sampling generates diverse design combinations. Each is automatically simulated in EnergyPlus.
XGBoost learns from simulation data and builds a fast surrogate model, evaluating thousands of candidates in seconds.
NSGA-III finds the optimal trade-off surface. Full archive, CSV data, and PDF report exported automatically.
Built for real building projects - handling the complexity practitioners and researchers actually face.
Optimize energy, embodied carbon, and comfort simultaneously. Handles 3+ objectives without compromising solution diversity.
Tag-based IDF substitution (@@tag@@) gives direct control over any EnergyPlus parameter - geometry, materials, HVAC.
Orders-of-magnitude faster than brute-force simulation. The surrogate learns from samples and generalizes accurately.
Scale energy (kWh/m²) and carbon results over the full building lifetime. Floor area and study period are user-configurable.
Built-in material database with quantity take-off. Tracks embodied CO₂ alongside operational energy in every run.
Understand which variables drive performance most - reveals the most impactful design levers before you commit.
The download is free. PareVia runs once activated with a license key - purchase a key below, and it arrives by email within 24 hours.
Download the installer above and run it. The application opens to an activation screen.
Choose a Student or Commercial license and pay securely online. Your personal license key is delivered to your email address within 24 hours.
Enter the key on the activation screen. The license binds to your machine, and PareVia unlocks for the full term of your license.
PareVia is sold directly by ArchOpt Technologies, with two separate license categories. Student licenses start at $20 for the first 3 months (proof of student status required). Commercial licenses start at $50 for the first 3 months, with monthly, annual, and 10-year options. Your license key arrives by email within 24 hours and activates on one machine.
🔑 See Student & Commercial licensesThe installer is free to download, so you can confirm it installs and launches on your machine. Running optimizations requires an activated license key.
After your payment is confirmed, your license key is sent to the email address you used at checkout, within 24 hours and usually much sooner. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder, then email architecture.optimization@gmail.com with your order or transaction ID.
Each key activates on one machine. If you replace your computer, email architecture.optimization@gmail.com with your license key and the license can be reset for activation on the new machine.
Each license is valid for the period you purchased (for example 3 months, 1 month, 1 year, or 10 years). When it ends, the software prompts for a new key. Renewal prices for Student and Commercial licenses are listed on the license page.
Only briefly: once for activation, and occasionally to re-verify the license. All simulations and optimizations run entirely on your own machine - your models never leave your computer.
No. PareVia is a desktop application with a full graphical interface. You define variables, ranges, and objectives in the GUI; the EnergyPlus runs, surrogate training, and NSGA-III optimization are fully automated.
