Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis software is a comprehensive concept-to-detail sustainable design analysis tool, providing a wide range of simulation and analysis functionality through desktop and web-service* platforms. Powerful web-based whole-building energy, water, and carbon analysis capabilities integrate with desktop tools for visualizing and simulating performance of a building model within the context of its environment.
Calculate the total estimated energy use and carbon emissions of your building model on an annual, monthly, daily and hourly basis, using a global database of weather information.
Carbon Emission Reporting
Report carbon dioxide (CO2) 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
Summarize estimated water usage inside and outside the building, based on the number of occupants as well as the building type.
Visual Impact
Analyze site projection angles, assess obstructions, calculate vertical sky components for any point or surface, and visualize the no-sky line in any space.
Solar Radiation Analysis
Enables you to visualize incident solar radiation on windows and surfaces, showing differential incident solar radiation calculated over any period.
Shadows and Reflections Simulation
Displays the sun’s position and path relative to the model at any date, time, and location. View how sunlight enters through windows and moves around within a space.
Daylighting Calculator
Calculates daylight factors and
illuminance levels at any point in the model or over the analysis grid. Helps determine potential savings due to daylight-linked lighting design.
Thermal Performance
Calculates heating and sensible cooling loads for models with any number of zones or types of geometry, and analyzes effects of occupancy, internal gains, infiltration, and equipment items.
