User manual AUTODESK ECOTECT ANALYSIS 2010 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2010 ® TM Visualize Sustainable Design. Simulate Early. Comprehensive analysis capabilities help you to analyze and simulate conceptual designs. Study alternatives and make decisions earlier to deliver achievable, resource-efficient building designs. Albuquerque Public Schools prototype elementary school section through cafeteria and media center. [. . . ] Autodesk building information modeling (BIM) solutions help make sustainable design practices easier, more efficient, and less costly. BIM solutions from Autodesk--Autodesk® Revit® Architecture and Autodesk® Revit® MEP software--are interoperable with Autodesk Ecotect Analysis. When you add subscription to your Autodesk Ecotect Analysis software license, you can get access* to the following web-based capabilities: Whole-Building Energy Analysis calculates the total energy use and carbon emissions of your building model on an annual, monthly, daily, and hourly basis. Carbon Emission Reporting reports carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for nearly all aspects of a proposed building, including on-site fuel use as well as emissions from power plants. Water Usage and Cost Evaluation summarizes estimated water use inside and outside the building, based on the number of occupants as well as the building type. Visual Impact helps you to analyze site projection angles, assess obstructions, calculate vertical sky components for any point or surface, and visualize the no-sky line in any space. Solar Radiation analysis enables you to visualize incident solar radiation on windows and surfaces, showing differential incident solar radiation calculated over any period. Add value through energy and water efficiency and environmental performance. Gain better design insight with whole-building energy, water, and carbon emission analysis. Interact with powerful visual feedback to study how environmental factors may impact building performance.

View how sunlight enters through windows and moves around within a space. Daylighting calculates daylight factors and illuminance levels at any point in the model or over the analysis grid. Helps determine potential savings due to daylight-linked lighting design. Thermal Performance calculates heating and sensible cooling loads for models with any number of zones or types of geometry, and analyzes effects of occupancy, internal gains, infiltration, and equipment items. Autodesk sustainable analysis tools let us combine real-world conditions with our design expertise in a way that we couldn't do otherwise. Besides providing technical analysis of building design, Autodesk tools help us come up with better designs. --Stephen F.
