BREEZE Software
BREEZE software products are used by environmental professionals worldwide to analyze the effects of air pollutant emissions and explosions. BREEZE is easy to learn and use because it adheres to Microsoft® standards for intuitive, uniform graphical user interfaces, and features standardized toolbars, views, menus, commands, and dialog boxes.
BREEZE software falls into the following categories:
- Air Dispersion - air quality modeling applications developed to primarily address continuously released emissions from a wide variety of sources.
- Risk Assessment - human health and ecological risk assessment modeling suite developed to perform multi-media fate and transport and exposure modeling for estimating potential adverse impacts to human health and ecological receptors.
- Hazardous Release - modeling applications that address the accidental or unintended release of chemicals into the atmosphere. Many of these models are used in emergency response planning / response.
- Explosion - sophisticated high explosive and vapor cloud explosive and damage assessment models used to evaluate the vulnerabilities of virtually any type of structure. These models a often used to mitigate the affects of a terrorist attack.
- High Performance - models and services utilizing parallel processing and cluster modeling techniques to significantly enhance runtime performance.
Most BREEZE products include an integrated Geographic Information System (GIS). This intuitive data analysis and visualization interface tool enables modeled objects and results to interact and be displayed with a variety of geophysical data. AutoCAD® .dxf files and images in standard file formats (e.g., .bmp, .gif, .tif) can be imported into BREEZE software and used as base maps for easy visualization of affected areas.
Many BREEZE applications are based on U.S. government models, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's AERMOD and CALPUFF models. BREEZE makes these models easy to use. But we don't just stop at putting a wrapper around a Fortran executable. We often enhance the applications with features and functionality requested by our users.
