Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis software is a comprehensive concept-to-detail
sustainable design and analysis tool, providing a wide range of simulation
and analysis functionality to improve performance of existing buildings and
new building designs. Online energy, water, and carbon-emission analysis capabilities
integrate with desktop tools for visualizing and simulating building performance
within the context of its environment. Users can interact with powerful 3D
feedback to explore factors such as solar, shadows and reflections, and daylighting.
Customers who purchase Autodesk® Subscription for their Autodesk Ecotect
Analysis license can access the web-based* technology available through the
Autodesk® Green Building
Studio® energy
analysis service to more quickly evaluate multiple design alternatives for
energy efficiency and carbon neutrality.
Whole-building energy analysis – Calculate total
energy use and carbon emissions of your building model on an annual, monthly,
daily, and hourly basis, using a global database of weather information
Thermal performance – Calculate heating and cooling
loads for models and analyze effects of occupancy, internal gains, infiltration,
and equipment
Water usage and cost evaluation – Estimate water use
inside and outside the building
Solar radiation – Visualize incident solar radiation
on windows and surfaces, over any period
Daylighting – Calculate daylight factors and illuminance
levels at any point in the model
Shadows and reflections – Display the sun’s
position and path relative to the model at any date, time, and location
