The former standalone
EcoDesigner™ product is discontinued. The built-in Energy Evaluation
functionality of ArchiCAD 16 is similar, but is based on entirely new
technology (e.g. zone-boundary based building model geometry analysis, analytic
weather data input option, etc.). This technology allows architects to perform
reliable dynamic energy evaluation of their BIM model within ArchiCAD, relying
on BIM geometry analysis and accurate hour-by-hour online weather data of the
building’s location. To learn more about the new Energy Evaluation features of
ArchiCAD 16, check the ArchiCAD 16 products page.
