Arcade Groep Designs Smarter, More Substantiated HVAC Systems with Hysopt

“With Hysopt, our engineers design from insight, not assumption.”

With over 30 years of experience across multiple sectors, Arcade Groep is a multidisciplinary engineering and consultancy firm shaping the built environment through integrated design. From buildings and infrastructure to logistics and industrial projects, Arcade brings together architecture, structure, and technical expertise under one roof — ensuring every project benefits from seamless coordination and collaboration.

“In today’s complex building landscape, especially with hybrid energy systems, data and science have become essential,” says Johan Peeters, Senior Engineer at Arcade Groep. “Hysopt helps us model, test, and substantiate our designs — long before they reach the construction phase.”

By integrating Hysopt Designer into their workflow, Arcade has transformed how its engineers design and communicate. What once relied on experience alone is now strengthened by quantifiable insights — enabling the team to deliver more substantiated, confident concepts from the earliest project stages.

Building stronger engineering knowledge from presales onward

Boosting both technical confidence and project efficiency, Hysopt empowers Arcade’s engineers to design with greater precision and insight. “With Hysopt, we’re expanding our team’s knowledge and applying it already in the presales phase,” says Peeters. “It helps us put forward concepts that are not just creative, but scientifically substantiated.”

By introducing modelling early, Arcade visualises system performance, tests assumptions, and quantifies results before projects begin. This builds internal expertise and enhances collaboration — turning engineering know-how into a measurable advantage through Hysopt Designer.

Managing HVAC system complexity through scientific modelling

As hybrid and low-carbon energy systems become the standard, Arcade Groep uses Hysopt Designer to bring order to complexity. “With hybrid heat plants, we need a scientific model to get the right insights before decisions are made,” says Peeters.

Through simulation, Arcade can test configurations, predict energy behaviour, and identify inefficiencies early. The result: fewer assumptions, faster decisions, and more predictable outcomes. Anchored in Hysopt’s modelling, Arcade ensures every system design is optimised, validated, and future-proof.

Delivering confident, data-backed concepts to clients

Arcade’s clients expect transparency and proof. Instead of relying on estimates, engineers now present verified insights and performance data — shifting the conversation from opinion to evidence. “When we show clients Hysopt simulations, they immediately see the value behind each design choice,” says Peeters.

This approach shortens approval cycles, builds trust, and positions Arcade as a partner that blends innovation with reliability. With Hysopt at the core of its design process, Arcade Groep isn’t just delivering efficient systems — it’s defining a new, evidence-based standard for HVAC engineering.

With Hysopt at the heart of its engineering process, Arcade Groep is reshaping how data and design work together. Every model explored, every insight shared, and every optimisation achieved brings Arcade closer to a more sustainable, high-performance built environment. Together, Hysopt and Arcade are proving that when engineering meets science, smarter systems — and a smarter future — follow.
