Today at Greenbuild my suspicions were confirmed, but in a good way. I actually suspected that they would eventually “cannibalize” Ecotect into Revit. I knew Autodesk had something up their sleeve, I just did not know what it was.
Then a few years ago, Autodesk bought Ecotect from its developer, Square One Research, and seemingly shelved the project. I usually do not need specific glazing assembly data for a conceptual design-stage daylighting study).įor years, I have leaned heavily on a program called Ecotect for much of the quick, early, iterative type of energy modeling. The project’s level of design development will also influence the depth of an analysis (e.g. Radiance for daylighting, eQuest for energy performance). Specific inquiries will dictate what tools I may use for analysis (e.g. daylighting, electric lighting, thermal loads, energy performance, acoustical performance, water consumption, wind flow analysis). I use the term “energy model” loosely because it encompasses so many different types of analysis (e.g. A large part of my job has always been energy modeling for new construction projects – especially LEED projects.
