Webinar: Performance Based Design – The Energy Modeling Process
Want to do sustainable design but don’t know what software to use to do your analysis? Like the idea of performative design but want to see if it works before trying it yourself? This session will cover these topics and more, with the goal of showing not just how it can be done but that...
Daylighting Analysis with DAYSIM and Ecotect
Did you ever wanted to go beyond the Point in Time daylight simulation possible with the tandem of Radiance and Ecotect and simulate the Daylight Autonomy of a space over the course of a year then you might be interested in the following tutorials from the AutodeskEcoWorkshop YouTube channel. DAYSIM and Ecotect 1: Export Models...
Project Falcon – Integrated Wind Tunnel for Revit available on Autodesk Labs
Project Falcon is a free technology preview that simulates air flow around vehicles, buildings, outdoor equipment, consumer products, or other objects of your choosing in a virtual wind tunnel. Falcon technology is extremely geometry tolerant and easy to use, enabling you to begin seeing and understanding air flow behavior within seconds of starting the application....
Welcome to a New Building Performance Analysis Blog
Autodesk’s building performance analysis team(s) are just launching ‘Building Performance Analysis – Better by Design‘. This blog is by the folks who develop the products and set product strategy. The intent is to engage in more active dialogue with users and work to be more transparent. Let’s check this frequently on all things Vasari, Ecotect,...
Importing Revit 2013 gbXML into Ecotect Analysis 2011 Problem Solved
On importing gbXML files from Revit 2013 into Ecotecty Analysis you are faced with the following error message: This error is being presented because the gbXML export file is not encoded in a format Ecotect recognises (and for some reason triggers an IFC error message). Unlike earlier versions, Revit 2013 exports in UTF-16 format whereas...
Webinar: Let There Be Daylight – A Practical Approach to Ecotect and Radiance
Gain an understanding the real benefits of using Ecotect‘s daylighting performance tools and how through the use of Radiance one can provide a more detailed radiocity-based analysis. Radiance is the industry standard for detailed daylight analysis and can help design teams better understand lighting impacts both qualitatively and quantitatively. This session explores how Radiance, when...
Revit 2013 gbXML Not Importing into Ecotect 2011
Come accross this problem? Here is the solution from the BIM Toolbox: On import you are faced with the following error message: This error is being presented because the gbXML export file is not encoded in a format Ecotect recognises (and for some reason triggers an IFC error message). Unlike earlier versions, Revit 2013 exports...
Daylighting Case Study from Henning Larsen Architects
Learn how Hennings Larsen Architects used Ecotect and Radiance to optimize daylight in an office project (Thanks Asbjørn). Find more info at the Autodesk Education Community – Sustainability Workshop: Daylighting Analysis in BIM
Just Released: Vasari Beta 1
So it looks like one of my favorite BIM tools is approaching to mature into a product. A Public Beta version of the previous Autdesk Labs project Vasari was just launched on this new site autodeskvasari.com. This Beta 1 release will expire on January 31st 2013. The following features are new or enhanced for Vasari...
Building Performance Modeling Case Study by CBT Architects
CBT Architects present how they are integrating IES building performance analysis into their design process using the Fitchburg State Science Project as an example for this Case Study. This an interesting insight into how this architectural firm is going about incorporating early stage analysis into their processes, BIM and working in a more integrated manner...
