The VE allows users to optimise the placement of PV panels, by evaluating solar exposure within SunCast, at any stage of the design process. This VE Tech Tip explores how to use...
The VE offers a simple workflow to use an existing 3D model, to export data directly into the JPA SAP tool. This lets you quickly assess Residential Buildings, to demonstrate...
The VE offers a simple workflow to use an existing 3D model of the real building, to create the actual building for UK Part L compliance. The VE will then link to the selected...
IESVE allows users to analyse airflow in detail. Being able to apply boundary conditions generated by a dynamic simulation from an existing model, can speed this up. This VE Tech...
The VE makes it easy to simulate seasonal foliage variation in accordance with BR209 Appendix G. It is necessary to read Appendix G for the rules on obstructions such as trees and...
The VE lets you run calculations for Annual Probable Sunlight Hours (APSH) calculations, using the SunCast application. An APSH calculation measures the amount of direct sunlight,...
This VE Tech Tip explores how to use the latest Pollination workflow within Revit, to easily export geometry, for import into the VE in native geometry format. It...
The VE allows users to import data from Open Street Map (OSM) directly into IESVE. This lets us quickly import additional geometry data, to add surroundings & context to our...
This VE Tech Tip explores how to use the Pollination tool, to easily export accurate geometry from Rhino, for import into the VE. It covers: Using the Pollination plug-in...
The VE allows users to export model geometry from SketchUp to the VE using the IESVE SketchUp Plugin. Changes to the geometry can be made in SketchUp and then applied to the VE...
This VE Tech Tip explores how to use the legacy Pollination workflow within Revit, to easily export accurate geometry, for import into the VE. It covers: How to use the...
The VE software allows users to import gbXML files to improve interoperability for a streamlined workflow. This VE Tech Tip explores how to prepare geometry within a Revit...
The Input Data Visualisation feature in the VE allows users to view an assortment of variables within their model, to support improved quality control and checking of assigned...
Tabular Space Data allows users to rapidly inspect and modify standard thermal attributes, internal gains and air exchanges for spaces in their models. In this Tech Tip, we...
Master Templates can support increased modelling productivity in the VE, allowing users to import and merge VE model data from a source master template into their current...
The space groups function within the VE allows users to group spaces in their model according to various criteria. Space groups are especially useful if you commonly work on...
