The following are the energy modeling applications

commonly used within the design industry. Each varies in price, ease of use, and interoperability

with a gbXML model. Choosing the correct application for your office or workflow will

depend on a balance of those variables.

IES <VE> IES <VE> (www.iesve.com) is a robust energy analysis tool that offers a high

degree of accuracy and interoperability with a BIM model. The application can run the whole

gamut of building environmental analysis from energy to daylighting to Computational

Fluid Dynamics (CFDs) used to study airflow for mechanical systems. Cons to this application

are its current complexity for the user and the relatively expensive cost of the tool suite.

Autodesk Ecotect This application (www.autodesk.com/ecotect-analysis) has a great

graphical interface and is easy to use and operate. The creators of this application also have a

number of other tools, including a daylighting and weather tool. While easy to use, it can be

challenging to import model geometry depending on what specific application you are using

for your BIM model. As an example, SketchUp and Vectorworks can import directly, whereas

applications like Revit can be more of a challenge.

eQuest The name stands for the Quick Energy Simulation Tool (www.doe2.com/equest).

This application is a free tool created by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).

Although robust, it contains a series of wizards to help you define your energy parameters for

a building. Like Ecotect, it can be a challenge to import BIM model data smoothly depending

on the complexity of the design, although it will directly import SketchUp models by using a

free plug-in.

Autodesk Green Building Studio Green Building Studio (www.greenbuildingstudio.com) is an online service that allows you to upload a gbXML file for a free energy analysis.

The service provides quick and graphical feedback of the buildings’ energy performance

based on a survey of building use and loads. The survey is not highly detailed, so if your

building type or use does not fit into the limited choices available, the results might not be

accurate.

Revit itself does not perform daylighting analysis. To get accurate daylighting results, you

need to use other applications in the same way you did with energy analysis. Daylighting, however,

is much easier to evaluate for accurate results and doesn’t require several years of school to

perfect. 

There are several tools on the market that will do daylighting analysis:

DaySIM DaySIM (http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/tools_directory/

software.cfm/ID=428/pagename=alpha_list) is a free application supported by the U.S.

Department of Energy. It is built from the Radiance engine, one of the most accurate and

trusted currently available, but requires a working knowledge of the Radiance engine to be

properly proficient.

Ecotect Ecotect offers its own flavor of daylighting analysis (www.autodesk.com/ecotectanalysis).

Ecotect is powerful as a one-stop shop for sustainable design analysis (as it also

performs energy analysis as well as other building analysis) but has been noted to be clunky

and difficult to use.

3ds Max Design 3ds Max Design is a rendering application (www.autodesk.com/3dsmax) that

in 2008 added a daylighting package. The daylighting engine is Radiance based but is easy to

use and will directly import Revit model geometry through the use of an FBX translator.
