GRAPHISOFT Introduces the Next Generation of Building Energy Modeling with EcoDesigner Star

GRAPHISOFT's Announces today its new EcoDesigner Star Building Energy Modeling solution.

EcoDesigner Star enables architects to use ArchiCAD's building information model (BIM) directly as a building energy model (BEM). This ensures streamlined collaboration between designers and energy consultants. Furthermore, EcoDesigner Star offers standard-compliant energy analyses on the BEM and produces a detailed building performance report, all within the familiar ArchiCAD design environment.

Eurobuild, a company specializing in the design of low energy buildings, was one of the first design teams to use the new EcoDesigner Star. By applying the improved energy analysis workflow to their M Labs project, Eurobuild could generate reliable building energy evaluations at every stage of the design workflow.

GRAPHISOFT has planned a public Webcast to communicate this announcement. Register at www.graphisoft.com/products/archicad/webinars.html
