Build Better Buildings

Create energy-saving designs

Energy-conscious buildings are more important now than ever. The most sustainable savings are achieved early in the building design. For example, shape, orientation, and shading can make the difference in a building’s energy performance. Run energy analyses on your BIM model easily to achieve the best performing design with Archicad’s built-in EcoDesigner STAR or Sun Study. Connect to the other solutions available through the Archicad – Grasshopper connection or a model export solution.
