DesignBuilder is a user-friendly modelling environment where you can work (and play) with virtual building models. It provides a range of environmental performance data such as: energy consumption, carbon emissions, comfort conditions, daylight illuminance, maximum summertime temperatures and HVAC component sizes. DesignBuilder 2024 v7.3.0.040 Tested Picture Some typical uses of DesignBuilder are: Calculating the impact of various design options on building energy consumption. Evaluating façade options for overheating and visual appearance. Thermal simulation of naturally ventilated buildings. Reporting savings in electric lighting due to use of natural daylight. Prediction of daylight performance through Radiance simulations. Visualisation of site layouts and solar shading. Calculating heating and cooling equipment sizes. Detailed simulation and design of HVAC and natural ventilation systems including the...
