  • RDT has become an accredited ACCESS4YOU partner, reinforcing its commitment to accessibility and the improvement of physical and digital spaces for people with disabilities.

  • RDT’s Computational Simulation Centre of Excellence can now audit and certify infrastructures, ensuring they meet the highest international accessibility standards.

  • This accreditation highlights RDT’s leadership in accessibility and advanced technology, promoting inclusive spaces and optimising construction projects to avoid future cost overruns.

 

RDT has achieved a new and important accreditation that reinforces its commitment to innovation, boosting the growth of its clients and generating a positive impact on its environment. Through its Centre of Excellence for Computational Simulation, RDT is now an officially accredited partner of the prestigious international platform ACCESS4YOU, an initiative that promotes accessibility for people with disabilities and works to ensure that physical and digital spaces are accessible to all. Indeed, 15% of the world’s population has a disability.

This recognition not only reinforces the position of RDT’s Centre of Excellence in Computational Simulation as a leader in the field of simulation and advanced technology, but also highlights its comprehensive vision in the improvement and total optimisation of all types of facilities and buildings. The accreditation obtained from ACCESS4YOU will enable the RDT team to offer specialised assessments to certify that spaces meet the highest standards of accessibility, contributing to a more equitable and open society.

 

Integral vision of construction processes

Thanks to the RDT Centre of Excellence in Computational Simulation’s accumulated experience in the use of advanced technology and its multidisciplinary approach, the team is highly qualified to tackle complex accessibility challenges after being recognised as an ACCESS4YOU accredited partner. This will enable us to advise and audit our clients in the construction or refurbishment of their buildings and facilities at the design stage, allowing them to avoid cost overruns should modifications be required, resulting in full optimisation of the facility and increased loyalty and attraction of their potential customers.

What distinguishes RDT’s Centre of Excellence in Computational Simulation is not only its ability to audit physical spaces, but also its comprehensive approach, which includes the use of advanced simulations to analyse and improve decision-making in the construction process. Through numerical simulation, our Centre of Excellence is able to carry out CFD simulations for ventilation and cooling, energy simulations, the study of thermo-cooling production systems, analyse the behaviour of environmental treatment systems in buildings, etc.

 

Constructive and technological assessment

ACCESS4YOU is a platform that has established itself as a global benchmark in the field of accessibility. Its main mission is to provide reliable and detailed information on the accessibility of buildings and spaces for people with disabilities, whether motor, sensory or cognitive. In a world increasingly aware of the importance of accessibility, the ACCESS4YOU initiative is highly relevant, as it allows people with disabilities to know in advance if a space meets the necessary requirements to be accessible.

Being recognised as an ACCESS4YOU auditor implies the ability to assess infrastructures for accessibility, following a detailed protocol covering different physical and technological aspects. In addition, we can provide recommendations on how to improve the infrastructure to meet international accessibility standards.

The accreditation of RDT’s Centre of Excellence in Computational Simulation as an ACCESS4YOU auditor not only has implications at the technological level, but also at the societal level. This is particularly relevant in a context where accessibility policies are gaining ground in many countries. Accessibility is no longer seen as a secondary consideration, but as a basic need that must be addressed in any architectural or urban planning project. RDT’s accreditation in this field shows its leadership in an area that is becoming increasingly important globally.

The potential impact of this accreditation also extends to the business and service world. Many businesses are beginning to recognise the importance of ensuring that their facilities are accessible to all, not only for ethical reasons, but also because accessibility can open up new markets and improve the customer experience.
