“Green” now an organic part of architecture Early design phase Sustainability is all about choices, and 80 percent of design choices on energy efficiency are made early in the design process. EcoDesigner™ helps architects optimize the design by understanding the energy performance implications of design alternatives. EcoDesigner brings sustainability to the core of Virtual Building / Building Information Modeling. Informed decisions Quick, comprehensive, and easy to use: compare energy consumption, monthly energy balances and other indicators to inform the design process and make the best design choices. “One-click” evaluation for architects Now architects can evaluate Building energy performance within ArchiCAD: Graphisoft EcoDesigner is available from ArchiCAD and the best news is that all architects can use it right away! With EcoDesigner the ArchiCAD Virtual Building becomes an even more intelligent “BIM” model, right from the very first concept design. “Henry Deane Place was one of the first “green” buildings in Sydney and embodies many environmentally sustainable solutions.
