Do you want better and uninterrupted engagement with your stakeholders?
We have developed what we call a Virtual Consultation Room (VCR): an online 360 degree interactive platform.
In this virtual environment room, you can show and or share whatever information about your project you wish to use. This can be for information, clarification, to show options and alternatives etc. There are unlimited options but we think that using the virtual Consultation Room for actual consultation is probably most beneficial because it gives stakeholders the opportunity to participate, ask questions, make suggestions etc.
We have designed multiple ‘template’ rooms which you can use or we can create a ‘bespoke’ room fully in accordance with for example your corporate colours, design etc. Based on our experience to date we are confident your VCR will reach a wider target group and your stakeholders will get a better understanding than when using traditional methods. This is particularly the case in situations where a silent majority may be neutral or cautiously supportive but not brave enough to publicly being seen to supportive in the face of fierce opposition.
We produced a VCR for the WindEnergy expo in Hamburg and used it to demonstrate our products and services as well as showcasing some real life examples.
Our VCR hosts will give you a warm welcome in: English, German, French, Spanish and, with a bit of luck: Dutch.
On this page, you can find more information about the VCR.
New: Objectplanner: our powerful additional platform fully integrated with
Windplanner and solar planner.
The latest addition to our ‘Windplanner’ design and visualisation suite makes it possible to add a theoretically unlimited range of what we have called ‘objects’ into your project’s 3D (and 2D) world. Objects, such as for example trees and hedgerows may be introduced to screen some or all of a proposed development and so mitigate some of the effects on views.
Other ‘objects’ such as livestock, cars or farm vehicles might be used to generate more engaging visual images.
The use of planting in mitigation is well established as is indeed the introduction of people, play equipment etc in visual images. No other software does however give you the capability to edit your mitigation measures in ‘real time’ and in 3D. For example when designing landscape screening proposals, size, proportions, planting density, species etc in combination with stock fencing will all influence the overall visual character of the view.Because all objects can be scaled you can also illustrate growth.
The capability of wind and solar planner which already facilitates outputs of high quality 3D images has now gone up another level with Object planner. The package currently included > 20 objects. Your required object not available: call us and we will create it.
Objectplanner will be free until 01/01/2023. If you are interested to learn more about Objectplanner, please contact our sales department.
Having a booth at the Wind Expo turned out to be a good decision. Windplanner was part of the Holland Pavilion, organized by the HHWE. Our team had many interesting talks, both with Japanese visitors as well as international companies and potential partners.
Japan has high ambitions towards wind energy; growing from <2% today to 20% in 2050. In order to reach this goal, Japan plans a considerable percentage of their wind turbines to be near shore. As the effect of wind mills can easily be visualized with Windplanner – both on land and near shore – there are good opportunities in the Japanese market.
Ernest, Henk, Sarah and Maarten immersed themselves in exciting Tokyo. For all of them, it was the first time to set foot in Japan. So next to the three intense days at the Wind Expo, they also spent a couple of days as tourists. All in all, it was a great trip, fully loaded with new experiences, insights, and contacts.
