Powerful solutions for sustainable design
IES’s specially developed Revit plug-in Toolbar allows Revit® Architecture and MEP users to import their 3D BIM model into IES’s software and undertake sustainable performance analysis.
The great thing is you don’t need to rebuild any models – a clever interface takes you through the ‘Setting Model Properties’ process step-by-step. All you need to hand is basic information on building type, construction materials, and heating and cooling system types, at either the whole building or room level depending on what stage you are at in the design process.
Once you’ve set up your model you can access the different IES performance analysis products by clicking the relevant button. Each product offers different levels of functionality; so whether you are an architect or an engineer, want top-level information or want to explore in much more detail, there is a solution for you.
To start with there is our FREE building and energy calculator VE-Ware. Then our VE-Toolkits offer low cost, early-stage energy, carbon, daylight, solar and LEED analysis capabilities. Next is VE-Gaia, a complete workflow environment from modelling to reportage which is driven by "step-by-step" smart navigation. Finally our full VE-Pro suite provides incredibly detailed, high-end, integrated analysis options across all elements of building performance, with lots of additional modelling flexibility.
