The new Ecotect Analysis 2010 offers the architects and engineers with a broad range of simulation and analysis functionality that helps the users to better understand earlier in the design process how the environmental factors, like solar, thermal, shading, lighting and airflow will affect the building performance.

Autodesk’s goal is to make sustainable design easier so architects can meet this growing demand, and we’re doing so today by offering new sustainable design analysis software and a free online guide to building sustainably.

Our Green Index Survey consistently reflects these new initiatives and finds that owners are demanding green buildings at a steadily increasing rate. The new free online resource is for the designers that demonstrates the sustainable design principles, decisions and technologies for every phase of the building project lifecycle.Īccelerating climate change and decreasing energy security are driving a growing number of voluntary and regulatory initiatives to improve new and existing building performance and reduce carbon emissions, stated Phil Bernstein, FAIA, Autodesk vice president of AEC industry strategy and relations. This new product and online resource offer the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) firms with tools that help simplify and allow sustainable design decisions. (Autodesk), a US-based design software and services company, has introduced a new whole-building performance analysis tool, Ecotect Analysis 2010 software, and a new free online resource, Autodesk Guide to Sustainable Design.
