-
Integrated EnergyPlus Simulation for Accurate Energy Modeling
Perform whole-building energy analysis with the industry’s most robust simulation engine. Accurately predict heating and cooling loads, energy consumption, and carbon emissions to optimize building operation and ensure compliance with codes like LEED, BREEAM, and ASHRAE 90.1. -
Advanced Daylighting and Visual Comfort Analysis
Maximize natural light and occupant well-being. Use the Radiance-based daylighting tool to calculate metrics like Daylight Factor, sDA (Spatial Daylight Autonomy), and Annual Sunlight Exposure, helping to design spaces that reduce electric lighting costs and improve visual comfort. -
Detailed HVAC and System Modeling
Model complex HVAC systems with ease. From simple ideal air loads to detailed chilled beams, VRF systems, and active facades, DesignBuilder 2025 allows you to simulate and compare different system options to find the most efficient solution for your design. -
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for Airflow Analysis
Solve complex airflow and comfort problems. The integrated CFD module allows you to analyze indoor air quality, temperature stratification, and draft risks, ensuring a healthy and comfortable indoor environment for occupants. -
Parametric Analysis and Optimization
Automatically find the most cost-effective design solutions. Run parametric studies to test thousands of design variations for factors like glazing ratio, insulation levels, and shading, identifying the optimal balance between performance and cost.
