Application & Software Tools

Functions:

1. 3D BIM Building Modeling- for initial office design and improvement which is translated into process

2. Analyse Function: Lighting Solar, Building Energy (and then transferring to Autodesk Insight) to optimize and study state of building in initial design stages.

3. Sun path, Location etc analysis for building design

1.3 Methodology

Passive Design Strategies

'Passive design' is architecture that adapts to the environment to keep a comfortable temperature inside the building Depending on where you live, good passive design should minimize or completely eliminate the need for additional heating or cooling, and it frequently depends on an occupied space to function properly.

Insight is an energy modelling, stimulation software that allows comparing and tracking building/model performances based on the early design orientation, and other optimization techniques pertaining to energy efficiency, thermal comfort, photovoltaics, and lighting.

VELUX Daylight Visualizer is a professional lighting simulation tool for the analysis of daylight conditions in buildings. It is intended for use in the early design phase of a building to inform architects and engineers about the impact of various design choices on daylight performance
