Graphisoft EcoDesigner is a discontinued energy evaluation tool for architects. It is an add-on software for ArchiCAD, Graphisoft's Building Information Modeling application which aims to provide information about a building's energy performance at the early design phases and give feedback to architects on the energy efficiency and sustainability of certain design alternatives.
Features[edit]
The tool can generate results about the energy consumption, Carbon footprint and the monthly energy balance of a building. This is done by specifying physical properties of an already modeled building envelope using the default values set for different type of building parts or entering custom data, setting up location, weather data, building type and HVAC systems for the project. EcoDesigner then passes the data to StruSoft's VIP-Energy calculation engine, which performs a dynamic analysis to produce a final report.
