A web-based energy analysis software can help architects and designers perform whole building analysis, optimize energy efficiency, and work toward carbon neutrality earlier in the design process. With faster, more accurate energy analysis of building design proposals, architects and designers can work with sustainability in mind earlier in the process, plan proactively, and build better.
- Whole building energy analysis software—Determine virtual building’s total energy use and carbon footprint
- Design alternatives analysis—Consider alternatives to improve energy efficiency
- Detailed weather analysis—Extensive weather data available for project site
- Carbon emission reporting—Emissions reporting for nearly all aspects of the building
- Daylighting—Qualification for LEED® daylighting credit
- Water usage and costs—Estimated water use, in and outside building
- ENERGY STAR® scoring—Scores provided for each design
- Natural ventilation potential—Summarizes mechanical cooling required and estimates hours design could use outdoor air to cool the building naturally
