DesignBuilder - Building Design, Simulation, Visualisation
DesignBuilder Software USA is North American distributor of DesignBuilder Program. For non US/Canada customers, please visit www.designbuilder.co.uk.
DesignBuilder is a revolutionary new building energy simulation and visualisation tool.
Developed for use at all stages of building design, DesignBuilder combines state-of-the-art thermal simulation software with an easy-to-use yet powerful 3D modeller.
DesignBuilders' innovative productivity features allow even complex buildings to be modelled rapidly by non-expert users, and because it uses the EnergyPlus simulation engine you can be confident in the results.
DesignBuilder is competitively priced and cost-effective to learn and use, so you will be able to offer your clients comprehensive simulation analysis on even the smallest project without going over budget... the software will often pay for itself on its first use.
It is suitable for use by architects, consulting engineers, researchers and students.
Some typical applications are:
 Calculating building energy use.
Evaluating façade options for overheating and visual appearance.
Visualisation of site layouts and solar shading.
Thermal simulation of naturally ventilated buildings.
Lighting control systems model savings in electric lighting from daylight.
Calculating heating and cooling equipment sizes.
Communication aid at design meetings.
An educational tool.
