islandmon Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 It all looks great on paper & promos ... but in the end all the inputs & outputs will need to be certified as correct and compliant to evolving non-proprietary regulated International Standards. I have total confidence in NNA's proven abilities to adjust ballast with out sinking the ship. The emphasis in all this rigamarole has to be on the ability of the USER to understand and to manipulate the data across multiple platforms and standards. If specific code needs to be created or reverse-engineered, NNA engineers can certainly do it at a realistic cost and within predictable time.

Tobias Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Agreed, having the data in a format that was recognized industry wide would be crucial. Isn't that what BIM is about? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Graphisoft seem to be sorting their act out: http://architosh.com/2009/04/aia-graphisoft-announces-new-ecodesigner/ Quote Link to comment
Tobias Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hmm.. The bar has been raised. I know I'd find that capability useful.... Quote Link to comment
J Lucas Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Is something like this in the works for Vectorworks? Quote Link to comment
J Lucas Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks Christiaan. Such functionality would be very valuable in my work. It is one of the original reasons I committed to designing and modeling in 3d. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Of course I wouldn't have the first clue as to what NNA have up there sleeve, if anything. So it's not surprising there's none I know of. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Architosh article on EcoDesigner: EcoDesigner itself was conceived as an energy analysis tool for designers, not engineers. Viktor Varkonyi marked that architects using ArchiCAD are the primary audience for EcoDesigner. As such there was a lot of emphasis on making the product easy to use, simple to implement and fast. The idea is to make it fast for the architect designing the building to compare his design against other design options. ... 80 percent of design choices affecting energy efficiency are made in the early design phase. EcoDesigner is squarely aimed at the up-front design phase decision making that effects energy efficiency. Quote Link to comment
Tobias Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yeah. Real time energy modeling info would be huge. A real design advantage and the end product could save $$ for the life of the structure. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Shipped today: http://www.graphisoft.com/products/archicad-solutions/ecodesigner/ Quote Link to comment
Diamond Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Wow! Please can we have an Ecodesigner plugin for VW Architect?! I know it may not be a simple as the website Quicktime movie shows it to be, but surely it would be a big step forward! Let us hope that someone very clever in the bowels of Nemetscheck is working on this for VW 2010. Quote Link to comment

rDesign Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Not surprising that any Ecotect links are dead — as Autodesk bought Ecotect way back in 2008, and I believe they have since integrated Ecotect’s functionality into their Revit product lines.

Christiaan Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Does anybody have a video of Ecotect features incorporated into Revit in action? Quote Link to comment
