design tools
Why use design tools?
Design tools for green building and energy-saving simulation are specialized software and technologies used by architects, engineers, and sustainability professionals to optimize the environmental performance of buildings. These tools simulate various aspects of a building’s energy consumption, resource efficiency, and overall environmental impact, helping design teams make data-driven decisions that improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, and minimize carbon emissions.
Tools
EDGE App
EDGE helps you to decide the best green options, estimating the incremental costs of building green and payback period through estimated utility savings.
OTTV Calculator
An OTTV calculator is a tool for evaluating the thermal performance of a building’s envelope (walls, roofs, windows, etc.).
CIE Sky Generator
The CIE Sky Generator simulates the sky’s luminance distribution, primarily for daylighting analysis in architectural and environmental design.
Climate Consultant
Climate Consultant is a simple-to-use, graphic-based computer program that helps to understand the climate of a specific location and make informed decisions.
