BREEZE AERMOD is loaded with features that optimize your modeling. Although there are numerous options, the intuitive user interface is extremely easy to learn and understand. As a Microsoft Certified Partner, BREEZE conforms to design guidelines for products specifically developed for the Microsoft® Windows operating system. Significant effort has gone into giving users the option to hide many of the data entry options that they might not require. For example, if you are not modeling deposition, you can choose not to show the data entry options related to deposition. This is extremely beneficial to new users or users who model infrequently.

The features that go into BREEZE products are given careful consideration so that only those that provide real value to the user are present. Many other companies rely on BREEZE software to define their own set of features. Our joint application design sessions involve people who actually use the products from different industries, government, and academia.
