by Rebecca Walker — October 8, 2010—Autodesk has developed tools that enable architects and other building professionals fast and easy access to energy modeling early in the design process.
The capability for early-stage conceptual energy analysis is one of the industry-first enhancements in the design software development firm’s 2011 versions of Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk Revit MEP, which stands for mechanical, electrical and plumbing.
The inclusion of the feature is intended to make energy efficiency and sustainable design integral to building and retrofit projects—and spur broad adoption of the principles in the built environment, says the company.
Specializing in 3D and 2D design software for manufacturing, building, construction, media and entertainment, Autodesk aims to make the design of smarter, greener buildings easier. For more information, see the Web site.
