SAM
SAM (Sustainable Analytical Model) is the core of the SAM Toolkit —
an open-source platform designed to help engineers create, manage,
and analyse analytical building models for energy and environmental performance.
SAM provides a structured analytical representation of buildings,
supporting workflows for energy modelling, systems analysis,
environmental simulation, and performance-driven design.
It is designed as a modular and extensible platform:
core analytical concepts are implemented in this repository,
with additional functionality provided through specialised SAM modules
and integrations.
What SAM provides
At its core, SAM enables:
- creation and management of analytical building models
- assignment of constructions, loads, and system definitions
- preparation of models for simulation and analysis
- orchestration of analytical workflows and scenarios
- integration with external tools and simulation engines
SAM supports both programmatic and visual workflows,
including integration with environments such as Grasshopper, Rhino, and Revit.
Extensibility
The SAM platform is intentionally modular.
Additional repositories provide functionality such as:
- simulation engine integrations (e.g. Tas, OpenStudio)
- data exchange formats (IFC, gbXML, GEM)
- environmental and physical calculations (psychrometrics, solar, acoustics)
- UI layers and scripting interfaces (Windows UI, Rhino, Python)
- experimental and research workflows
The full ecosystem, module descriptions, and relationships
are documented in the SAM Wiki.
Getting started
To install SAM, download and run the
latest Windows installer.
Alternatively, the toolkit can be built from source using Visual Studio.
See the documentation in the SAM Wiki for setup guidance and build details.
