Scalable Energy Analysis

Quick energy and carbon assessments for portfolios, campuses and cities

SketchUp Plugin to Decarbonise Multiple Buildings

Map out routes to net-zero with iCD’s high-level analysis capabilities. Identify high/low performers, explore potential retrofit options to investigate further, and use multi-year simulations to understand the energy and carbon impact of various interventions across both new and existing buildings.

FEATURES

Quick and Scalable Energy Analysis

Energy analysis within iCD utilises our Apache simulation engine, ensuring robust results and a smooth transition to undertaking more detailed analysis in the VE, as your project progresses.

Fast Results

Significantly cut the time it takes to give energy and carbon performance feedback when dealing with multiple buildings. Avoiding the need for numerous energy audits, models or spreadsheets.

  • Easy and quick to use
  • Import geometry & data from OpenStreetMap
  • Visualise impacts of decisions immediately
  • Ready-made reports & scenario comparisons

Multi-Year Simulation

Identify your high and low performers, hone in on which retrofit options to investigate further, and simulate the impact of different interventions and climate patterns over time.

  • Create a sustainable masterplan for a portfolio, campus, community or city
  • Undertake energy and carbon simulations across multiple buildings
  • Add in planned new buildings alongside existing buildings on the timeline
  • Identify promising retrofit options that you want to explore in more detail
  • Plan and visualise interventions & future climate scenarios

Wider Sustainability Analysis

Go beyond energy and carbon to integrate analysis across other sustainability metrics, considering both existing and proposed new buildings.

  • Water use analysis
  • Incorporation of adjacent buildings, terrain and trees in order to assess solar PV potential
  • Connect to iVN to assess feasibility of district heating, networked energy and renewables
  • Create and import existing building energy profiles from iSCAN
