With design and building cycles accelerating, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals are racing against time. qbiq.ai&nbsp;introduces a radical shift: from blank canvas struggles to fully viable, detailed design plans in minutes.
Unlike generic AI floor plan generators or "smoke and mirrors" automation tools that offer surface-level renderings that are unusable, qbiq.ai is purpose-built for professionals who need usable, build-ready outputs. <a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">qbiq</a>&rsquo;s system doesn't just sketch ideas; it delivers usable, BIM-compatible, and fully editable 2D, CAD and 3D architectural models that evolve with your project based on a huge data set of verified plans.
As one of the few AI solutions delivering fully usable CAD, BIM, and Revit outputs, qbiq ensures AEC professionals save both time and costs while reducing errors that slow down project delivery.
<h2 dir="ltr">A Unique AI Model, Built for Your Project</h2>
One of the most powerful capabilities qbiq offers is its "<a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/capabilities/customized-planning-engine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Customized Planning Engine</a>", which builds an intelligent AI model around your specific goals and constraints. Instead of forcing your team to adapt to generic layouts or templates, qbiq adapts to you. By ingesting your project parameters, building specific geometry, design guidelines, operational flows, and compliance rules, it creates a context-aware engine that produces layouts tailored to your domain. Whether you&rsquo;re following internal brand standards or navigating local code requirements, your AI model is purpose-built to reflect those exact conditions.

</figure>
Every project powered by qbiq starts with our AI model and we generate customized, valid plans , tailored to your specific requirements. This isn&rsquo;t one-size-fits-all AI. qbiq generates solutions that align with your industry standards, spatial constraints, and regulatory guidelines from day one.
This model isn&rsquo;t static either. It evolves with you. As you refine and review, the system continues to learn and adapt, producing new layout variations, fine-tuning component placement, and adjusting flows to meet stakeholder feedback. It's not just iterative; it's intelligent iteration rooted in your specific needs.
<h2 dir="ltr">Visually Rich, Professionally Valid</h2>
Design excellence isn&rsquo;t just about layout and deliverability - it&rsquo;s also about presentation. qbiq doesn&rsquo;t stop at a 2D functional layout; it delivers highly visual, beautifully finished 3D environments that reflect your standards and elevate stakeholder engagement. With our <a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/capabilities/themes-finishes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Themes &amp; Finishes</a> capability, every space generated includes customized visual treatments, from flooring and lighting schemes to furniture arrangements and brand-aligned finishes at a specific cost level.

</figure>
This makes it easy to communicate potential, win buy-in faster, and deliver not just functional plans, but emotionally resonant spaces. Whether you're showcasing options to clients, executives, or internal teams, your spaces are rendered with aesthetic clarity -not generic white-box placeholders.
These important capabilities are in demand for organizations that want to ensure they are aligned with their corporate standards of aesthetic and functionality.&nbsp; By establishing the elements as the guiding principles, professionals can ensure all work is done in line with their demanding standards from the get-go.
<h2 dir="ltr">Seamless Collaboration and Revit-Ready Outputs</h2>
One of the most overlooked sources of project delay and misalignment in the AEC world is the disconnect between early-stage design and production-ready documentation. With qbiq.ai, that handoff is seamless. Every plan generated -whether it's a 2D layout or a 3D visual- is immediately usable by the entire project team.
Thanks to our built-in <a href="https://www.qbiq.ai/capabilities/revit-cad-model-generation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Revit &amp; CAD Model Generation</a> capabilities, your outputs are delivered in native file formats that plug directly into existing BIM workflows. No re-drafting, no translation errors, no delays. These files are highly accurate and ready for immediate use. This reduces the typical friction between design and documentation, allowing architects, engineers, and contractors to move from concept to execution with confidence and speed.

Our approach reflects the best in AI architectural design tools -providing AI-generated floor plans and enabling automated space planning that still respects the unique vision of each user.
<h2 dir="ltr">A Long-Overdue Shift in Architectural Technology</h2>
The last true revolution in architectural technology came with the transition from paper drawings to digital drafting tools like AutoCAD and Revit. That shift changed workflows&mdash;but not the fundamental structure of how projects begin. Architects and designers have remained responsible for setting up each project from scratch, manually interpreting requirements, building base models, and iterating over time-intensive tasks just to get to a usable concept.
Meanwhile, industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and finance have harnessed AI to dramatically increase quality, efficiency, and predictability. The AEC sector has lagged behind&mdash;until now.
qbiq.ai brings architectural design into the era of intelligent automation. Instead of merely drawing faster, qbiq enables professionals to begin with a viable, architectural-grade model that's customized to the project context. This leap forward allows AEC teams to:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">
Accelerate early-phase design with AI-generated options
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">
Reduce redundant manual setup
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">
Minimize rework with architectural-grade foundations
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" aria-level="1">
Spend more time solving design problems, not drafting them
</li>
</ul>
It&rsquo;s a timely evolution. As project complexity grows and deadlines shrink, firms that leverage this new class of AI tools will be positioned not just to keep up&mdash;but to lead.
<h2 dir="ltr">Designed for the Real Estate World</h2>
For corporate real estate teams managing global portfolios, qbiq standardizes planning outputs across markets and ensures compliance with local regulations. Whether you&rsquo;re a design-build firm, a commercial broker, or a facility manager, qbiq eliminates the front-loaded effort typically required to generate test fits and schematic designs. You go from project brief to tangible results in record time, freeing your team to focus on higher-value design and decision-making.&nbsp;

Practical AI in AEC: How to Start, What to Measure, and What to Avoid

This article evaluates BQE CORE as an AEC-focused firm-management system. Built by architects and engineers, it mirrors typical A/E lifecycles and consolidates project and resource planning, CRM and proposals, time and expenses, native accounting and invoicing, forecasting, and configurable dashboards. It focuses on firm-wide adoption, real-time financial insight, scalability, and reducing tool sprawl.

AEC-Tech for Firm Management: Why BQE CORE stands out

Just a mere few years before 2025, the tech scene of the AEC Industry was rather easy to navigate. A handful of industry leaders, with very recognizable names, dominated the market for tools and software products from pre-design all the way until construction and commissioning. It was also a time when AI applications in design and engineering were not very commonplace and were hardly talked about, let alone implemented as full-scale products/services. Seasoned professionals would well remember this time, as the market then appeared to saturate with no innovations ahead.
Enter the SaaS boom in the AECTech space: over a span of just 2-3 years around the pandemic, hundreds of software products and toolkits sprang into existence, each addressing a problem that has long remained unsolved by the industry giants for years. Of these, in particular, products that specifically tackle and solve early-phase site design, massing, and schematics grew immensely in popularity, owing to their potential to solve some of the most crucial problems in building and site design. aec+tech has been following their journey for a while&mdash;our 2023 article, &ldquo;<a href="../../../blog/the-evolution-of-generative-design-tools-on-the-rise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Evolution of Generative Design: Tools on the Rise</a>&rdquo;&nbsp;threw some much needed light on these innovations, playing our part in mainstreaming these tools to a larger audience.&nbsp;
Fast forward to 2025, the market for AECTech tools has only expanded multifold. There are more and more AI-first software and toolkits, with some tools having gained a significant userbase, challenging erstwhile &lsquo;big names&rsquo; in their domains.&nbsp;
We at aec+tech have identified Generative Design tools that have had a continuous market presence, and significant growth and transformation over the past 5 years. Their journeys from their early conception to their current maturity have been impressive, and it is remarkable to see how far along they&rsquo;ve come.

TestFit has transformed itself from an AECTech tool with a lot of potential, to realising all that potential to become a strategic partner for real-estate and property developers, helping overcome some of the biggest hurdles in the site design process.
<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">Autodesk Forma</h2>
Oslo-based Spacemaker was an early front-runner in cloud-based AI software that allowed property developers and planners to analyze different schematic options for their sites. Users were able to generate and optimize building configurations based on terrain, sunlight, wind, zoning, traffic, etc., which were informed by real-time environmental simulations for early-stage planning.&nbsp;
Soon enough, the software was making a name for outcome-focused analysis, including increasing unit density, improving sunlight access, boosting apartments with sea views, and so on: all those things that made it appealing to developers in the European market.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/2cf46981-2cea-489f-994d-96410e32d0d3.jpg" alt="Fig. 4) Generative Design with Autodesk Forma" width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 4) Generative Design with Autodesk Forma</figcaption>
</figure>
Enter software-giant Autodesk in late 2020: in a massive $240 million acquisition, Autodesk bought Spacemaker and commenced its integration into their flagship early-stage design product Autodesk Forma. With this product, Autodesk has brought together Spacemaker&rsquo;s AI site planning, FormIt&rsquo;s freeform conceptual modeling tools, and their own new granular cloud data model, while hooking them to the live sync with Revit, through a file-less plugin. Autodesk thus achieved their signature unitized workflow, to transition from conceptual design to detailed BIM all in the same ecosystem.
The results? <a href="../../tools/autodesk-forma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forma</a> adoption reportedly grew 500% post-launch, indicating rapid uptake among architects and early adopters of Autodesk&rsquo;s AEC cloud tools. In addition, Spacemaker&rsquo;s pre‑existing user base was migrated seamlessly into Forma, with significant cloud-based upgrades and rebranding.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/16fc133e-8975-4abf-bfca-3de0ce6926d5.jpg" alt="Fig. 5) Environmental Analyses with Autodesk Forma" width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 5) Environmental Analyses with Autodesk Forma</figcaption>
</figure>
Favorably enough, what followed were lowered pricing options, making the technology accessible to a broader user base expanding beyond developers to architects worldwide. Since architects are already adept in Autodesk software, with most workflows in medium- and large-scale offices centred on Revit, integrating Forma into the workflow proved to be a natural decision for many practices, contributing to the large pool of users today.
Not only, the integration also saw newer product features and interoperability capabilities that weren&rsquo;t originally seen in Spacemaker, but are now a valuable addition. Forma lets you perform, apart from environmental analyses, evaluations of your project&rsquo;s embodied carbon, an increasingly growing concern in the AEC industry. Plus, Forma also enables you to link with third-party tools via extensions: it supports plugins like TestFit (for parking layouts) and Rhino Inside, fostering a wider ecosystem.

<h2 dir="ltr">Hypar</h2>
Launched in 2018 by industry veterans Anthony Hauck (ex‑Revit lead at Autodesk) and Ian Keough (creator of Dynamo), Hypar set out as a cloud-native, open-standards platform where users could combine modular generative tools (aptly called functions) to build systems like building envelopes, structures, floorplans, and so on. The co-founders placed a lot of emphasis on the accessibility of the product: non-programmers could simply click to generate intelligent design variants, while developers could craft custom functions via C# or Python.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/1353c0d9-0767-46a1-beba-255781cab80a.jpg" alt="Fig. 7) Early Hypar Functions" width="800">
<figcaption>Fig. 7) Early Hypar Functions</figcaption>
</figure>
Hypar also pioneered the Text-to-BIM functionality with a prototypical chat-style interface where users fed building descriptions ("two-storey retail + 14-storey residential L-shape") and got full BIM models as outputs. Moreover, users could share, sell, or combine their functions using open formats (IFC, Revit export), akin to an app-store model, which contributed to their early success. By late 2020, Hypar had over 2,000 users especially in the North American and Northern European markets, quite the turnout for an AEC startup.
<iframe style="width: 774px; height: 436px; display: table; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dKxnoxAG1HI?ab_channel=Hypar" width="774" height="436" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Followed by the influx of a $5.5 million funding in June 2023, Hypar expanded its features, growing the developer ecosystem, and targeting industry workflows like test-fits, healthcare, and workspace design. The company continued its focus on ease-of-use and accessibility of the tool, with many users highlighting intuition and approachability as key attributes that led them to prefer Hypar, compared to heavy CAD/BIM tools.&nbsp;
More recently, Hypar marked a shift to AI-infused layout suggestions, integrating large-language models to drive prompts into function parameters, thereby delivering an intelligent framework as a solution for further design exploration, rather than a single, stochastic, black-box answer. One should also commend the focus on designer control, where the visualization is linked to the parametric inputs rather than fixed-output generation.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/f83b1b3f-1d8e-4718-91ff-287ed618fe26.jpg" alt="Fig. 10) Space Planning with Hypar&rsquo;s Layout Suggestions" width="500">
<figcaption>Fig. 9) Space Planning with Hypar&rsquo;s Layout Suggestions</figcaption>

&nbsp;With an expanding pool of interoperability and ecosystem integration features, Hypar is certainly going in the right direction. A blend of automation with design control, fostering a collaborative ecosystem via functions, has been a fruitful formula for Hypar that placed it in a favorable position in the market. Thousands of users, real pilot implementations (e.g. S/L/A/M, Adrianse), expanding to healthcare, workspace, data center planning, all pave the way for a successful roadmap ahead, for Hypar!

It is however noteworthy that Delve as it once existed and worked, back in 2021, can no longer be accessed today. Rather, Delve leads to a Google Earth webpage (try it out <a href="http://sidewalklabs.com/products/delve" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>), wherein you could evaluate building and solar design options for early-stage urban development in minutes. It appears, all the generative design and site schematics functionalities of Delve are now a part of Google Earth, with an emphasis on solar potential estimation as one of its key features.

What&rsquo;s disappointing, though, is that none of these features are readily accessible within Google Earth right away. After an initial sign up, you&rsquo;re expected to wait to obtain a 60-day trial with which the Generative Design features can be put to use. More so, there isn&rsquo;t any information publicly available as yet about subscriptions, continued use of these tools, updates, and so on.&nbsp;
Seems like we are going to have to wait to fully delve into designing with Google Earth, after all!

The last 5 years saw a tremendous growth in the advent of tech products for AEC, with many ripple effects instigated in the market as a consequence. New tools are introduced every passing day, each answering a question more nuanced and crucial than the one before. Like we keep reiterating, the market for AECTech products has been on a continuous rise for a few years now. There are many more, equally promising Generative Design products out there, like Finch, Digital Blue Foam, Skema, Giraffe, Archistar, Morphis, to name a few. While the technologies that back them constantly evolve, the rigor and the zeal that the industry exhibits in problem-solving, and the journeys that companies undertake over the many years of their development, are certainly something to behold.&nbsp;
And as we always say, we have some very exciting times ahead for the AECTech space!

History

In 1898, Charles Henry Page and his brother Louis Page formed Page Brother, Architects and focused on designing courthouses and public schools. Charles's son, Charles Henry Page Jr., joined the firm following Louis's death in 1934. A year later, Louis's son, Louis Charles Page Jr., partnered with his college roommate, Louis Southerland, to form the Austin-based firm Page and Southerland. Louis's brother, George Page, would join the firm in 1939 and the name changed to Page Southerland Page. The firm changed its name to just Page in 2013.

In 2022, Page bought the architectural and planning firm, EYP, merging the former Albany-based company's national offices and design portfolio. In 2023, Page acquired Davis Brody Bond, a former New York City-based architecture firm with notable projects including the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, the Portico Gallery at the Frick Collection, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

As of 2024, Page operated 21 offices in the US, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates.

Revit is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software developed by Autodesk, widely used across architecture, engineering, and construction disciplines. It allows users to design, model, and document buildings and infrastructure in a single, coordinated environment. In Revit, every element in a project is part of an interconnected database. Changes made to one view&mdash;such as a plan, elevation, or section&mdash;are automatically reflected in all other views of the model. This parametric relationship ensures consistency and reduces the risk of errors in documentation.
<h2 data-start="760" data-end="782">Core Capabilities</h2>
Revit supports both 2D drafting and 3D modeling, but its primary strength lies in its data-rich modeling environment. Each object in Revit is not just geometry; it carries information about its physical properties, materials, and relationships to other components. Revit includes tools for architectural design, structural engineering, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) systems, enabling multiple disciplines to work within the same model.
The software also allows for the creation of schedules, material takeoffs, and detailed construction documentation directly from the model. Because Revit stores all information in one file, edits are reflected across all drawings, schedules, and sheets automatically. This feature is particularly valuable for coordinating complex projects where multiple people and teams are contributing to the design.
<h2 data-start="1643" data-end="1674">Collaboration and Workflow</h2>
Revit is designed to support collaboration in various forms. Worksharing enables multiple team members to work on a single project file simultaneously, with a central model managing updates. For distributed teams, Revit can integrate with cloud-based platforms like Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, allowing real-time collaboration across locations.
Revit also facilitates interoperability with other software used in the AEC industry. It supports import and export in multiple formats, including DWG, IFC, and DGN, and can connect with analysis tools for energy performance, structural analysis, and daylight simulations. Its API (Application Programming Interface) allows for customization and automation through tools like Dynamo, enabling advanced workflows and repetitive task automation.
<h2 data-start="2473" data-end="2500">Practical Applications</h2>
In architecture, Revit is used for conceptual design, detailed design development, and construction documentation. Engineers use Revit for structural analysis and to coordinate MEP systems with architectural and structural elements. Contractors and project managers use Revit models for quantity takeoffs, construction sequencing, and clash detection, ensuring fewer conflicts on site.
Revit is also applied in facility management, as the detailed model can serve as a digital twin of the completed building, providing valuable data for operations and maintenance.
<h2 data-start="3073" data-end="3085">Summary</h2>
Revit provides a unified environment where design, documentation, and analysis coexist in one coordinated model. Its parametric nature, data integration, and multi-disciplinary capabilities have made it a standard in the AEC industry. Whether used for designing a single-family home or a large-scale infrastructure project, Revit enables teams to work more precisely, maintain consistency across outputs, and manage complex building information in an organized way.

In 2025, Planète GreenLeaves collaborated with the ULI Boston Chapter to conduct a detailed microclimate and thermal comfort analysis of the Mystic River Industrial Area in Boston. The project aimed to assess current outdoor conditions and explore climate adaptation strategies for a future regenerative design initiative.

CityDigitalTwin was used to build a high-resolution digital twin of the site from OpenStreetMap data, capturing buildings, roads, vegetation, and water bodies. The model represented real-world conditions with layered detail, forming the basis for hourly simulations. The simulation focused on July 28, 2020 — the hottest summer day recorded between 2019 and 2023 — running from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM at hourly intervals to analyze outdoor thermal comfort using UTCI (Universal Thermal Climate Index).

Baseline results revealed widespread thermal discomfort across most pedestrian areas, with UTCI frequently exceeding 95°F and thermal comfort frequencies below 20% in key locations. This highlighted the vulnerability of the site to urban heat, particularly in paved, unshaded zones.

Scenario analysis tested reflective (cool) roofs and pavements as an intervention. Results showed a UTCI reduction of up to 6°F in affected areas, significantly improving pedestrian comfort. The analysis demonstrated how passive design strategies, like reflective surfaces, can help mitigate urban heat island effects and enhance outdoor usability.

CityDigitalTwin enabled stakeholders to visualize, quantify, and compare current and improved conditions quickly and effectively. This study not only informed immediate design priorities but also illustrated the value of data-driven, pre-design analysis in meeting broader sustainability goals. The Mystic River project exemplifies how urban planning can integrate climate resilience and human-centric design through advanced simulation technology.

Bergman, Walls & Associates (BWA), a prominent architecture firm based in Las Vegas, engaged BLT SMRT to modernize their approach to design technology through the implementation of Maestro. Although Revit was well-established within their workflow, BWA had no internal automations or scripting infrastructure. This lack of tools made it difficult to share standards, reduce repetitive tasks, or respond quickly to recurring coordination issues. The firm needed a solution that would allow them to build and scale their own tools without relying on full-time software developers.

Maestro offered an accessible path forward. With built-in AI-assisted code generation, BWA’s BIM Manager could quickly produce customized scripts to tackle internal challenges. These tools, once tested and refined, were deployed to the full team using Maestro’s deployment platform. To streamline access and adoption, the team also used Maestro’s Ribbon Manager to build a custom Revit ribbon, embedding tools, resources, and documentation into the daily workflow.

The result was a cultural and technical shift. BWA’s staff now view repetitive tasks as automation opportunities rather than unavoidable effort. Maestro has empowered BWA to evolve from a static software environment to one that is flexible, responsive, and increasingly self-sufficient across its design teams with minimal effort from the team.

Affiliated Engineers, Inc. (AEI) were contracted as the MEP Engineers for this 32,000sf mass timber architectural teaching facility with a metalwork, 3D printing and high bay workshop, auditorium, teaching studios and ancillary support spaces.

AEI used the IESVE to carry out detailed performance modelling of the building and its systems to ensure optimal energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and that it delivered against the University’s high aspirations for sustainable performance but remained within the project’s budget.

Central to the build design was the unique profiled roof and its ability to drive a stack natural ventilation of the high bay workshop to deliver passive cooling and ventilation requirements per ASHRAE 62.1-2019. In coordination with Grafton and Modus (project architects), the location and size of the apertures were integrated into the fenestration. IESVE Macroflo was used to test and optimize the natural ventilation system design, with IESVE Microflo supporting to validate the airflow patterns and distribution across the large volume. The CFD studies were used to identify thermal comfort concerns for upper level gallery space adjacent to the large atrium, with the thermal line of the building changed to mitigate potential issues.

“From the commencement of the project IESVE provided the ability to create complex geometry, allowed the team to quickly iterate building forms and shading solutions. As well as model a range of different HVAC strategies, including geothermal heating and cooling, VRF and the final selection of a dual wheel DOAS and air source heat pump with heat recovery.

Over the last 30+ years, IES has built a solid reputation as the leading global innovator in integrated performance-based analysis for the built environment. The IES Virtual Environment (IESVE) is a powerful, in-depth suite of building performance analysis tools. It enables the design and operation of low/zero carbon, healthy and comfortable buildings. Whether working on a new build or renovation project, IESVE allows designers to test different options, identify best passive solutions, compare low-carbon & renewable technologies, and draw conclusions on energy use, CO2 emissions, occupant comfort, and much more. There are various applications in the suite; each designed to provide sustainable analysis at levels suitable for different design team members and design stages. All utilize our Apache dynamic thermal simulation engine, and an integrated central data model. Building Energy Modeling (BEM) with the IES Virtual Environment software is the perfect industry design tool for electrification and decarbonization of the built environment. Various design strategies are available with decarbonization as an end goal, such as: passive design, energy conservation, energy efficiency, electrification, incorporating renewable energy technology, or energy storage. From optimizing room and zone loads to detailed HVAC system and equipment sizing, IESVE HVAC software offers the most practical, efficient, and accurate tools available. IESVE can quickly and easily undertake CIBSE & ASHRAE heating and cooling loads calculations, with efficient inputs for 3D geometry, envelope, internal gains, external design conditions and location. Minimum ventilation requirements can be included, or local code minimum ventilation can be utilized. Reports can be generated in either spreadsheet or PDF format, and can be shared to help gain insights from in-depth results analysis, or iterate on building design. These calculations transition seamlessly into detailed HVAC system sizing and optimization. IESVE can also be utilized for quick and easy CFD airflow simulation. An existing IESVE model can be used for early stage CFD simulations, without needing to import further data or export into other tools. MicroFlo-CFD performs ‘snapshot’ CFD simulation by importing boundary conditions from APACHE’s dynamic simulation, or allows manual boundary conditions to be added. Ventilation from passive sources (e.g. operable windows) or mechanical devices (e.g. diffusers) can be included in these simulations. MicroFlo-CFD can be utilized for a range of CFD use cases, such as: passive natural ventilation design, passive atrium design, data center design, hospital operating room design, HVAC design for occupant thermal comfort, external wind studies, or normal use ventilation of car parks. There is also the option within IESVE to utilize Parametric Simulation. This feature empowers users to compare a large range of design possibilities, be it for a single-variant design study or a multi-parameter whole-building design perspective. The Parametric Simulation feature has access to a large number of model variables and is integrated into the full range of APACHE’s links (Solar, Daylight, Airflow, Loads/Sizing and HVAC Systems). Over a thousand permutations are possible with one model. With the IESVE software, you can undertake daylighting for LEED and BREEAM, electric lighting design, glare prediction, daylight harvesting, daylight autonomy, user-specified visualizations. IESVE can ensure good natural daylight and visual comfort, reduce lighting gains, and test how your lighting designs will look and perform. Daylight, sunlight and overshadowing analysis can be carried out, with results generated for climate-based daylight modeling and daylight autonomy. For lighting design, daylight harvesting and dimming control assessments can also be undertaken. All of this combined can help you meet the requirements of local codes and best practice guides. Complex solar shading calculations can also be undertaken within IESVE, to determine how solar rays pass through both external and internal openings. The path of the sun is tracked across rooms and atriums into internal space allowing the exact location and impact of solar gain to be understood. Internal and external solar shading devices can be tested, along with assessing the shading or right to light impact of surrounding buildings and terrain. Any solar shading calculations can then inform Loads Calculations and Energy Simulations. IES also offers unrivalled interoperability with other CAD design and analysis tools. The smooth and robust two-way information exchange between IESVE and BIM platforms speeds up the design process and facilitates digital design.

Virtual Environment (IESVE)

Since 2020, UMC’s Building Analysis & Modeling team has been expanding their use of IESVE to deliver the best in whole-building performance simulation for their clients across several impressive projects. 

In fact, IESVE has now become an essential tool for the UMC team across a whole spectrum of new construction and retrofit projects delivered across the UMC business. 

For the Engineering group, which deals largely with new construction, this can encompass a wide variety of building performance studies, but will most typically involve providing detailed loads calculations, natural ventilation, and shading studies, to help inform their design decisions. Using IESVE’s load analysis tools has proved particularly invaluable for the team, allowing them to perform everything from room and zone loads optimization studies, through to detailed HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system and equipment sizing. This enables their team to design more accurately and right-size their clients’ systems, to avoid unnecessarily high energy consumption and capital costs.

Within the scope of UMC’s Energy & Environment division, the modeling team is often required to support the testing of different energy efficiency measures for retrofit clients. Here, they will use IESVE to produce highly accurate models, calibrated with real data from the existing buildings, to provide a reliable baseline matching the real building's performance as closely as possible. These calibrated models can then be used to run simulations incorporating potentially dozens of different energy optimization measures, ultimately allowing UMC to deliver a report to the client that will help them compare all the different solutions available to them and formulate a detailed energy management and retrofit plan. Very often, this process will highlight simple adjustments that can be made to a building’s operation, allowing the client to achieve immediate savings which can free up funds for any deeper energy efficiency investments that may be required.

Some of UMC’s more recent projects have even expanded into looking at district energy systems and opportunities to recover waste heat, to help deliver energy savings at the community scale. With the mounting pressure of net-zero energy targets and a growing trend towards distributed energy systems, these services are proving increasingly valuable to UMC’s clients.

The following is one example of the innovative projects UMC has delivered recently, with the help of IESVE.

Calibrated Modeling of Overlake Medical Center

Overlake Medical Center brings best-in-class, modern healthcare to Seattle’s growing Eastside. For this project, UMC was able to apply IESVE and their expertise in Building Analysis and Modeling to help the medical center identify energy efficiency measures and paths to compliance with the Washington State Clean Buildings Standard (CBS).

The UMC team began by conducting a comprehensive energy audit of the entire facility, identifying trends across all of the medical center’s current systems, equipment and scheduling while taking account of other key factors, such as occupancy. During the audit, the team found that significant opportunities existed to improve Overlake’s current Energy Use Intensity (EUI).

Using the data gathered from the audit, UMC was able to produce a highly accurate model, calibrated within a 4% range of the facility’s recent utility data. This meant that UMC and their client could be confident in the accuracy of the results produced.

UMC then used the calibrated model to simulate and analyze a range of possible energy efficiency measures for Overlake, including scheduling improvements for equipment that was operating 24/7 and even waste heat recovery. They outlined over 40 interventions the medical center would need to prioritize to comply with the CBS, amounting to a potential 45% reduction in Overlake’s total energy consumption. 

“What I like about IESVE Software is that it is continuously improving its features so that recent technologies can be modeled. There are always new features we can utilize to make our models more accurate and useful in their real-life application. Our main reason for choosing IESVE was the detail of the analysis that can be achieved, from the geometry, through to loads, shading effects, and natural ventilation. We have also received a lot of great feedback on how detailed and visual the reports that we pull out of the software are, which makes it easy for our clients to understand the impact of the measures we are proposing.”
