The challenges of luxury boating
The hull imposes physical constraints that don't exist in land-based construction. Every square meter is negotiated between naval engineering, design and function. Thermal comfort must be guaranteed in environments where no standard solution works out of the box.
Applying ventilation and climate control logic designed for buildings to a naval environment produces mediocre results at best. The spa, on-board, ultra-luxury combination requires a CFD methodology calibrated for the specific environment.
Reputation in luxury yacht-building is built over years and lost in a single voyage. A guest complaining about something they can't name — heavy air, a hot spot, diffuse discomfort — won't describe it to the yard. They simply won't commission the next hull.
What we diagnose onboard
Temperature distribution in cabins, saloons, decks and common areas. Identification of critical zones before they become complaints.
Imperceptible drafts, local gradients, effects of vents on lived-in spaces. Everything that determines whether an environment is pleasant or simply climate-controlled.
Mean age of air in enclosed spaces, verification of ventilation system efficiency, optimization of environmental quality for extended stays.

A real case
The client wanted a diagnosis of the thermal comfort and air quality of a wellness facility aboard an ultra-luxury lifestyle brand's yacht. They had already contacted six professionals. Each had answered with "not my field" or with solutions designed for land-based construction.
No one had ever tackled that specific combination: spa, on board, ultra-luxury standard. Revellum did. The diagnosis, gap analysis and optimization were completed before launch.
The REVELLUM Protocol
We define together the current state of the project and the expected comfort parameters, identifying airflow and thermal issues before fixing them has a cost.
We build the CFD model of your space, simulating the real behavior of air, temperature and environmental quality with the actual geometry and materials.
We compare the simulated state against the ISO 7730 target. Every gap is quantified: you know exactly what's missing, where, and by how much.
We translate the gaps into concrete interventions. Recommendations enter the project while changes are still inexpensive — not after construction.
The optimized design is delivered with complete PMV/PPD documentation, giving the project team everything needed to proceed with certainty.
