The Virtual Building™ embraces the entire building industry and manages the entire information life cycle of buildings. Ben Wallbank from London architects JRA explains, through his years of hands-on experience, how integrating virtual modeling throughout the design process is the way forward.Unlike a simple 3D model on a computer, the Virtual Building™ contains a great deal more information about the building\’s materials and characteristics. It is a 3D digital database that tracks all elements that make up a building. This information can include surface area and volume; thermal properties; room descriptions; price; specific product information; window, door and finish schedules; and more.Product:Graphisoft Virtual Building Explorer v14.3014 Lanaguage:english Platform:Winxp/Win7 Size:12 MB

GRAPHISOFT EcoDesigner for ArchiCAD 14 Simultaneously with the release of ArchiCAD 14, GRAPHISOFT is proud to introduce the new version of the world\’s number one building energy information modeling tool to the BIM market. EcoDesigner for ArchiCAD 14 offers numerous new features covering three main areas: * a feature set that supports sustainable architectural solutions equally for all climate regions; * a dynamic calculation engine capable of precisely evaluating complex building geometries and MEP systems; * detailed results that display all relevant information regarding a building\’s energy systems The New EcoDesigner User Guide A combination of the updated manual and the Advanced EcoDesigner User Guide, this documentation explains the new features of EcoDesigner for ArchiCAD 14 in detail, and contains...

The truth of sustainable design is that approximately 80% of the design decisions that influence a building\’s energy performance are made by the architect in the early design phase; the remaining 20% are made by engineers at the later phases of design. Therefore it is crucially important for architects to be able to utilise a quick and reliable energy performance evaluation at the very early stage of the building design process. Using GRAPHISOFT EcoDesigner architects can easily analyze, at an early stage, their design for energy efficiency. Providing invaluable feedback on the building\’s energy performance means the architect can make better decisions on how to conform to regulations and satisfy the interests of the client and the operator of the...

rchiCAD 14 continues delivering productivity improvements for architects throughout the full cycle of the BIM workflow with a specific focus on completing the integration of the architectural workflow with the engineering world. Great architecture requires collaboration of all design disciplines. Architects have a central role in coordinating all aspects of their design with other disciplines during the entire design process. ArchiCAD 14 turns IFC technology into full-fledged workflow solutions enabling collaboration with engineers regardless of their discipline or the name and version of the application they prefer working with. This \”open\” approach to interdisciplinary collaboration greatly broadens designers\’ options for real Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) resulting in faster delivered projects and significantly less coordination errors.Open Design Collaboration ArchiCAD 14 introduces...
