Building Energy Modeling with IESVE

Advanced Dynamic Thermal Simulation


Building energy modeling predicts building energy consumption, CO2 emissions, peak demands, energy cost and renewable energy production.

Whole building energy simulation analysis capabilities of the IESVE software cover a wide range of assessment types from energy performance, comfort, ventilation, HVAC performance and optimization.

Design for the future with low impact energy systems and strategies.

What IESVE offers

Capture the dynamics of your building from the simplest model to the most complex, detailed design.

Share results and input data across our applications to refine and inform simulations.

Reiterate and refine the model using generic or highly specific input data.

Ensure compliance and measure against global regulations and rating systems.

Ensure compliance and measure against global regulations and rating systems.

Gain insight and consistent feedback on this iterative and integrated analysis process.

Interrogate every aspect of thermal performance from individual surface temperatures to annual energy performance.

IESVE ApacheSim Application

Following our Power Station Challenge campaign, Alpin Limited got in touch to tell us the energy savings impact they’ve had on the built environment using the IESVE.
JohorLand Tower

Veritas carried out a range of simulation studies in ApacheSim to assess the improvements of 47 design enhancement features intended to reduce the energy consumption of the tower.

What our Customers Say

IESVE is one of the only tools that can provide integrated daylight, thermal and mixed-mode ventilation analysis in great detail, which allowed us to test the integration of all components across the year.

Linda Morrison
Building Performance Team Leader, Ambient Energy

To achieve a passive building requires a combination of smart strategies integrated from the early stages of the project. IESVE proved to be a very effective tool in this analysis, particularly when compared to other software programs. It can test various bioclimatic strategies incorporating the building form and orientation, solar shading, natural and cross ventilation, thermal mass, lighting and materials.

Weather Files

Climate will clearly play a key role in the performance of any building so it is important to use the appropriate location settings for any analysis. For Apache dynamic simulations in IESVE a simulation weather file is required. 

Explore our database of global weather applicable to a range of building types. Design for the future with any building in any location.
