Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2011

Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis green building software is a comprehensive sustainable analysis tool that delivers a wide range of simulation and analysis functionality through desktop and web-service* platforms. Powerful web-based whole-building energy, water, and carbon analysis capabilities converge with desktop tools to conduct detailed environmental simulations and visualize results.

Comprehensive analysis capabilities can help architects and designers evaluate multiple design alternatives earlier in the process. This functionality enables delivery of more energy efficient buildings and sustainable architecture.

Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis environmental building technology is a comprehensive concept-to-detail sustainable analysis tool. This software program delivers a wide range of simulation and analysis functions. Desktop tools, enabling designers to conduct detailed environmental simulations and visualize results, and access* to the web-based whole-building energy, water, and carbon analysis capabilities support more sustainable designs. Core features of Ecotect Analysis include:

• Interactive 3D displays simulate building performance in response to environmental factors

• Solar radiation, shadows and reflections, shading design, and visual impact studies

• Detailed weather, energy, water, and carbon-emission analysis (via web-service tools) that helps enable faster evaluation of multiple design alternatives

• ENERGY STAR® scoring and analysis of potential for LEED daylighting credits
