Instructor-led free IESVE guest lectures are available for academic institutions that use our software in their teaching. These can be tailored to your department and course, and delivered either in-person or online. The lectures are aimed at improving students’ proficiency in the IESVE on graduating, and will also benefit academic staff who need a refresher in the capabilities of the software.
What can be covered?
During the lecture, our expert trainers will cover the key aspects of our core IES Virtual Environment tools, such as:
- ModelIT (Building Geometry Creation)
- SunCast (Solar Shading Analysis)
- MacroFlo (Natural Ventilation Analysis)
- ApacheSim (Dynamic Thermal Simulation for Energy Modelling and Overheating/Comfort Analysis)
- CIBSE Loads (Peak Heating and Cooling Loads)
- RadianceIES (Daylight Simulation)

Hear from Academic Institutions using our Software
“The IESVE guest lecture delivered by Hans was highly informative and aligned perfectly with our module on Digital Design, Construction and Operation with Sustainability. Covering key tools like SunCast and ApacheSim, the session provided our students with valuable insights into performance-based sustainable design. It was a practical and engaging addition to our curriculum at Loughborough University.”
Dr. Seongha Hwang
Lecturer in Construction Management, School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering, Loughborough University
“I have received positive feedback from the students regarding your sessions. They found the lectures highly beneficial for their course studies and dissertation projects. In fact, some students have already started applying the IESVE software in their dissertations. The skills they have gained will also be a valuable asset for their future professional careers.”
Professor Yunting Ge
Director of the Centre for Civil and Building Services Engineering (CCiBSE), School of the Built Environment and Architecture, London South Bank University
"It is always a great pleasure to welcome IES to deliver a workshop for our MSc Digital Architecture & Construction at NTU. These sessions are invaluable to our students as they not only complement our teaching on Net Zero Carbon compliance with Part-L (UK & Ireland), but also provide insight into the many possibilities the software offers in relation to building energy performance."
Dr. Moulay Larbi Chalal
Course leader of MSc Digital Architecture & Construction, Senior Lecturer in Architectural Technology, Nottingham Trent University
