Visualize Sustainable Design.

Simulate Early. Analyze Often.
Create More Sustainable Designs.

Comprehensive analysis capabilities help you to analyze and
simulate conceptual designs. Study alternatives and make decisions
earlier to deliver achievable, resource-ecient building designs.

Stay Competitive with BIM Solutions
from Autodesk

The world is changing. The economy is changing.
Building and architectural firms must adopt new
design practices to meet increasing requirements for
energy and resource eciency—delivering designs
that minimize the environmental impact of new and
renovated buildings, while seeking opportunities to

Design Sustainably From the Start

Autodesk
is a concept-to-detail sustainable design
analysis solution with architect-designed
desktop tools that measure the impact
of environmental factors on a building’s
performance and web-based technology
for whole building analysis. Customers who
add subscription to their Autodesk Ecotect
Analysis software license can access* the
web-based technology for the duration
of their subscription and use the platform
to more quickly evaluate multiple design
alternatives for energy eciency and carbon
neutrality. Autodesk Ecotect Analysis makes
it easier for building designers to conduct
simulations and visualize results. Because
analysis can be conducted on a building
model as soon as the thermal zones are
defined, your team can make fact-based,
more sustainable design decisions during
the schematic stage when designs are easier
and less expensive to change. Ultimately,
these capabilities result in better building
performance, faster time to market, and
lower project costs, as well as lower total cost
of ownership over time. Unlike complicated
engineering analysis tools, Autodesk Ecotect
Analysis was developed specifically for
architects and designers to provide powerful
feedback that’s easier to interact with,
interpret, and communicate.

keep costs low. By integrating sustainable design
technologies from Autodesk into your workflows,
you can more easily transform today’s challenges into
profitable opportunities. Autodesk building information
modeling (BIM) solutions help make sustainable
design practices easier, more ecient, and less costly.

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.

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.

(CO

) 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.

Solar Radiation analysis enables you to visualize
incident solar radiation on windows and surfaces,
showing dierential incident solar radiation
calculated over any period.
