Today at Greenbuild my suspicions were confirmed, but in a good way. I actually suspected that they would eventually “cannibalize” Ecotect into Revit. I knew Autodesk had something up their sleeve, I just did not know what it was. Then a few years ago, Autodesk bought Ecotect from its developer, Square One Research, and seemingly shelved the project. I usually do not need specific glazing assembly data for a conceptual design-stage daylighting study).įor years, I have leaned heavily on a program called Ecotect for much of the quick, early, iterative type of energy modeling. ![]() The project’s level of design development will also influence the depth of an analysis (e.g. Radiance for daylighting, eQuest for energy performance). Specific inquiries will dictate what tools I may use for analysis (e.g. daylighting, electric lighting, thermal loads, energy performance, acoustical performance, water consumption, wind flow analysis). ![]() I use the term “energy model” loosely because it encompasses so many different types of analysis (e.g. ![]() A large part of my job has always been energy modeling for new construction projects – especially LEED projects.
