The Autodesk® Green Building Studio® web-based energy analysis service can help architects and designers perform
whole building analysis, optimize energy efficiency, and work toward carbon
neutrality earlier in the design process. With faster, more accurate energy
analysis of building design proposals, architects and designers can work with
sustainability in mind earlier in the process, plan proactively, and build
better.
Green Building Studio tools enable architects and designers to evaluate the
energy profiles and carbon footprints of their building designs early in the
design cycle. Files can be shared between engineering software programs, and
among engineers and architects, making sustainable design more efficient, and
cost effective.
Whole building energy analysis software – Determine virtual building's total energy use and carbon footprint
Design alternatives analysis – Consider alternatives to improve energy efficiency
Detailed weather analysis – Extensive weather data available for project site
Carbon emission reporting – Emissions reporting for nearly all aspects of the building
Daylighting – Qualification for LEED® daylighting credit
Water usage and costs – Estimated water use, in and outside building
ENERGY STAR® scoring – Scores provided for each design
Natural ventilation potential – Summarizes mechanical cooling required and estimates hours design could use outdoor air to cool the building naturally
