Energy Analysis

The Green Building StudioTM relieves pain associated in early building energy design decisions and data exchange saving architects $5,000 or more per project. Using gbXML for data exchange, GBS is one of the first engineering analysis tools to deliver true interoperability between building design teams, engineers and building product manufacturers.

EnergyPlus models heating, cooling, lighting, ventilating, and other energy flows as well as water in buildings. While originally based on the most popular features and capabilities of BLAST and DOE-2, EnergyPlus includes many innovative simulation capabilities such as time steps of less than an hour, modular systems and plant integrated with heat balance-based zone simulation, multizone air flow, thermal comfort, water use, natural ventilation, and photovoltaic systems.

RIUSKA™ is a tool for the dynamic simulation of comfort and energy consumption in building services design and facilities management. It simulates thermal conditions and heating and cooling of individual spaces and can be used to compare and dimension HVAC systems as well as for calculating the energy consumption of whole buildings. RIUSKA covers all the requirements of thermal performance simulation from preliminary design to facilities management and renovation.

The is easy to learn and easy to use, and can be used by everyone involved in the design process. At its heart is the Integrated Data Model or IDM. This is shared by all the building assessment applications and can be used with your existing CAD systems. Anyone (you don't need to be a CAD user) can construct detailed 3D models, perform advanced building analysis and share data between applications.
