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.
<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">TestFit</h2>
Probably one of the most notable early-stage feasibility platforms in the North American market, <a href="../../tools/testfit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TestFit</a> brands itself as a New Real-estate Feasibility Workflow, offering real-time insights into design, cost and constructability all in one place.&nbsp;

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">&nbsp;</h2>
<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>
</figure>
&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!
<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">Delve - Google Earth</h2>
Perhaps the most interesting transformation of all the AECTech tools that we&rsquo;ve followed over the past few years may have happened to Delve. Launched by Sidewalk Labs in 2020 as a &lsquo;generative design solution using machine learning to empower real-estate teams&rsquo;, Delve has since then been acquired by none other than Google LLC. True, the multinational tech company has nested Sidewalk Labs as one of its urban innovation units.&nbsp;
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/b1257da7-46d9-4efb-b343-0a47c605261c.jpg" alt="Fig. 10) Generative Design with Google Earth" width="800">
<figcaption>Fig. 10) Generative Design with Google Earth</figcaption>
</figure>
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.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/e80b458b-b682-4f79-9053-84bf61bdeebd.jpg" alt="Fig. 11) Solar Design inside Google Earth" width="800">
<figcaption>Fig. 11) Solar Design inside Google Earth</figcaption>
</figure>
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!

<figcaption>Fig. 12) Earth&rsquo;s Generative Design features are currently unavailable readily.</figcaption>
</figure>
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!

This article discusses the growth and transformation of generative design tools in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry over the past few years. It highlights how these software products, such as TestFit, Autodesk Forma (formerly Spacemaker), Hypar, and Delve (now integrated into Google Earth), have matured, offering solutions for early-phase site design, massing, and schematics.

Top Generative Design Tools for AEC: How Far Have They Come?

Construction projects today face intense pressure to improve safety, comply with regulations, and boost productivity. Maintaining thorough site documentation is no longer optional; it is now mandatory for safety audits, client accountability, and regulatory compliance&nbsp;[1]. 
Yet traditional methods of recording daily logs and inspection reports are painfully inefficient. Site managers often spend over a quarter of their 10+ hour workdays just dealing with paperwork and reporting&nbsp;[2]. This administrative burden slows down projects and increases costs, as manual reporting is tedious, error-prone, and inefficient [3]. In response to these challenges, the industry is turning to smarter, AI-based inspection and reporting tools that can streamline documentation and free up professionals to focus on critical site work. Introducing InspectMIND AI!
<iframe style="display: table; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7ISsN2VS44g?ab_channel=SupportInspectMind" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Fig. 1) InspectMIND Demo Video
<a href="../../tools/inspectmind-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">InspectMIND AI</a> is an AI field inspection platform designed to automate and simplify construction site reporting. Using the app, an engineer or safety officer can snap photos and dictate voice notes, and the AI then transcribes and analyzes this input to automatically generate a polished report [4].
Key features of InspectMIND AI include:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
AI-Generated Reports: The system uses AI to convert field data into detailed, structured reports in minutes, drastically cutting down manual work [3].
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Industry-Specific Templates: InspectMIND offers pre-built report templates (e.g. Job Site Observation, Safety Inspection, Structural Evaluation) to fit common inspection types [4]. These templates structure the input and ensure compliance with standard reporting formats.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Instant Report Generation: With one click, the captured observations are compiled into a professional Word or PDF report and ready to share. What used to take hours of writing and formatting is delivered almost instantaneously [4].
</li>
</ul>
InspectMIND AI-driven site documentation improves both the speed and the consistency of construction reporting. In short, it acts as an on-site &ldquo;co-pilot,&rdquo; handling the paperwork while professionals focus on actual construction work.
<h2 dir="ltr">Project Context: &Scaron;pansko Swimming Pool Complex</h2>
The field evaluation of InspectMIND AI took place at the &Scaron;pansko Swimming Pool Complex project in Zagreb, Croatia, which proved an ideal testing ground given its scale and significance.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/0afcf634-a6e8-477b-b9d7-a85d8e43b7e0.jpg" alt="Figure 2 Aerial view of the construction site" width="1000">
<figcaption>

</figcaption>
</figure>
&Scaron;pansko&rsquo;s new pool complex is a high-profile construction site. It is a &euro;34 million public recreational center featuring an Olympic-size swimming pool, a smaller rehab pool, spa/wellness facilities, a fitness center, and 300 spectator seats; it spans about 5,900 m&sup2; across one underground and two above-ground levels, making it the first public swimming facility on Zagreb&rsquo;s west side &ndash; a key investment in the city&rsquo;s sports infrastructure [5]. Construction began in July 2024 with an ambitious 18-month schedule, targeting opening in early 2026 [5].
A detailed video of the site visit is also available [8].&nbsp;
Despite the fast-track timeline and a site incident in early 2025 that underscored the importance of safety oversight [6], the project has been progressing slightly ahead of schedule due to efficient management [7]. The active construction site offered varied conditions, from excavation and concrete works to mechanical installations, mirroring common challenges where efficient documentation is needed. With many stakeholders awaiting updates (city officials, engineers, the public), maintaining comprehensive daily logs and safety reports is critical.
<h2 dir="ltr">Experimentation: On-Site Test and Workflow</h2>
Kristijan Vilibić (Mastery of Digital) visited the site as an observer and tester, using InspectMIND AI&rsquo;s Job Site Observation template to document the project&rsquo;s status and any issues in real time. Armed with a smartphone and the InspectMIND app, he walked through the &Scaron;pansko complex&rsquo;s construction areas just as a site engineer would, capturing dozens of observations over the course of a site tour.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/f37f7816-5fc0-4ce0-ab3c-2f88d4500a57.jpg" alt="Fig. 3) Site visit with InspectMIND" width="800">
<figcaption>

Kristijan integrated InspectMIND AI into the usual routine of a site engineer. He launched the app, started a new digital inspection session, selected the Job Site Observation template, and proceeded with the walkthrough as normal, except that all observations were now captured via voice notes and photos in real time.
The inspection began by configuring the project details within the InspectMIND interface. He entered key project metadata and specified his role as the inspector. Next, he defined two observation categories tailored to the day&rsquo;s activities: Concrete Works and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Compliance. The app&rsquo;s intuitive structure made it easy to organize field notes and visuals by category, setting the stage for a systematic evaluation.

<h2 dir="ltr">Concrete Works Observations</h2>
The first set of observations captured a full concrete pouring cycle, from delivery to final placement. This process was documented in real time with step-by-step visual and audio records directly in the app.
<ol>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Concrete Delivery &amp; Transfer: A cement mixer truck discharged fresh concrete into a large orange crane-lifted bucket.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Crane-Assisted Transportation: The site&rsquo;s tower crane hoisted the filled bucket and transported it across the construction zone.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">
Concrete Placement: Workers guided the bucket and controlled its discharge into a heavily reinforced structural section.
</li>
</ol>
Each observation included commentary and a corresponding photo uploaded into the app, which helped create a transparent, traceable inspection log.

<h2 dir="ltr">AI-Powered Report Generation</h2>
Once all entries were finalized with photos and descriptions, he tested InspectMIND&rsquo;s &ldquo;AI Draft&rdquo; feature. This tool generated structured text summaries for each observation category within the Site Description, Scope of Evaluation, and Conclusion sections. The AI-assisted output saved considerable time while maintaining a professional tone and structure.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/848df2ee-74e2-4d27-ba1e-3abe31100553.jpg" alt="Fig. 7) AI generated sections" width="800">
<figcaption>

</figure>
In the final step, he generated a complete Word report (.docx) directly from the app. The output included all logged observations, photographs, and AI-generated summaries in a clean, shareable format, ready for archiving or client delivery.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/6ae94f2c-c75b-4217-9c7e-50d745be9d6e.jpg" alt="Fig. 8) Generated report" width="1000">

This on-site workflow took only about an hour, and by the time Kristijan left the site, a polished draft report was ready on his device. The visual documentation (photos of site conditions and work progress) is an integral part of the report and, indeed, of this case study itself, demonstrating how seamlessly the app integrates imagery into construction documentation.
<h2 dir="ltr">Findings &amp; Conclusion: Strategic Value for the AEC Industry</h2>
This case study demonstrated that AI-powered site documentation can drastically improve the efficiency and consistency of construction reporting. Using InspectMIND AI at &Scaron;pansko, Kristijan was able to compile a detailed daily report on-site in minutes with an app that required virtually no learning curve, whereas manually this documentation might have taken him several hours back at the office. This aligns with broader industry experience: field professionals have reported roughly an 80% reduction in report-writing time on average when using such tools [3]. The automatically formatted reports also eliminated human error and ensured a professional, consistent layout for notes and photos. Beyond these immediate gains, the successful use of InspectMIND on a high-profile project with tight deadlines and strict safety requirements highlights the strategic value of AI in construction management. The tool saved time, improved communication among the team and stakeholders, and helped maintain rigorous safety compliance on site.&nbsp;
Scaling such solutions across the industry could lead to safer job sites, faster project delivery, and stronger compliance with growing regulatory requirements, and regulators are increasingly encouraging the adoption of digital tools to enhance project monitoring [9]. By modernizing the reporting process, platforms like InspectMIND AI ensure that no critical information falls through the cracks and that all stakeholders stay informed in real time. Ultimately, AI-driven solutions address the long-standing &ldquo;paperwork problem&rdquo; in construction and are quickly shifting from a novel convenience to an operational necessity as firms strive for smarter and more efficient project delivery [3].

<h2>Building a Responsible Foundation for AI in AEC</h2>
Artificial intelligence is transforming architecture, engineering, and construction&mdash;but are firms prepared for the risks that come with the rewards? During a recent presentation at the AIA Conference on Architecture &amp; Design&mdash;the industry's largest gathering of architecture professionals&mdash;Aaron Vorwerk, Architecture Practice Leader at Egnyte and Niknaz Aftahi, CEO &amp; Founder of aec+tech, talked about one of the most critical challenges facing our industry today: how to responsibly use AI without compromising security or effectiveness.&nbsp;
The presentation opened with Mickey McManus's compelling observation from a prior talk that &ldquo;we're entering the jazz age of AI.&rdquo; Just as jazz revolutionized music through improvisation and creative expression, AI is opening new possibilities across every phase of AEC projects. As Aaron noted later in the session, 
<blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote">We&rsquo;re seeing AI transform how we approach planning, design development, and even field operations, but like jazz, success comes from understanding both the fundamentals and when to improvise.</blockquote>
The foundation for any successful AI strategy should be put in place long before leveraging AI tools. &ldquo;AI without a solid data infrastructure is like building on sand,&rdquo; Aaron warned the audience. With cloud data in the AEC industry experiencing exponential growth over recent years, firms are sitting on unprecedented volumes of information; unfortunately, much of it remains unstructured, redundant, or potentially compromised.
According to recent industry research, 59% of AEC firms have experienced cyberattacks in the past 2 years alone, and construction firms face an average of 226 security incidents annually. And a full 44% of these breaches involved ransomware, highlighting critical vulnerabilities that could be catastrophic when combined with AI's data-hungry nature.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/8ee76aae-e8f5-499a-ab59-6c3477b1d755.jpg" alt="Fig. 1) AEC firms are prime targets for cyber threats" width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 1) AEC firms are prime targets for cyber threats</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2>The 3Ps Framework: Practical, Purposeful, Private</h2>
The centerpiece of the presentation was the "3Ps framework"&mdash;a methodology Vorwerk explained to help firms assess AI initiatives across three critical dimensions: Practical, Purposeful, and Private. This framework was developed to serve as the guiding principles for Egnyte&rsquo;s AI product development, and the presenters felt that the same approach could be applied by AEC firms looking to evaluate AI tools prior to implementation within their practices.
"Is this tool actually practical for our workflows?" Aaron asked the audience. "Does it serve a clear purpose with our existing data? And can we implement it without compromising our clients' privacy or our intellectual property?" These three questions form the backbone of responsible AI evaluation.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/7fc38afa-b28f-42a3-a7b6-bb2dc5c0b7e4.jpg" alt="The 3Ps offer a clear guide for evaluating AI tools in AEC." width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 2) The 3Ps offer a clear guide for evaluating AI tools in AEC.</figcaption>
</figure>
The speakers demonstrated how the 3Ps framework applies across common AEC use cases. In planning and programming, Vorwerk noted that AI tools generating layout designs are only as good as the historical project data feeding them. "We've seen firms excited about generative design tools that produce beautiful layouts," he explained, "but if your underlying project data is incomplete or poorly structured, you're unlikely to achieve a desired or accurate result."
For design ideation, Niknaz highlighted how the challenges become even more nuanced. While AI can produce compelling visualizations and conceptual designs, firms must be cautious of tools that might inadvertently expose proprietary design methodologies or client-specific requirements. "Some AI platforms require uploading your design files to external servers," she cautioned. "That might seem practical in the moment, but it fails the privacy test completely."
The documentation phase presents its own considerations. Poorly structured BIM data can lead to significant errors when processed through AI systems, creating cascading problems throughout construction documentation. 
<blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote">Garbage in, garbage out isn&rsquo;t just a saying &mdash; it&rsquo;s a prediction of project failure when AI amplifies bad data.</blockquote>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/bedab6bc-cb49-4a1d-8ed1-5313bc57655c.jpg" alt="Bad data in, bad results out&mdash;AI needs clean inputs." width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 3) Bad data in, bad results out&mdash;AI needs clean inputs.</figcaption>
</figure>
From Data Literacy to Industry Readiness
Referring to a presentation by Amy Beckenham, the speakers shared the importance of data literacy as a foundational skill for AI success. Amy had defined data literacy in AEC as "the ability to read, understand, create, and communicate data as meaningful information." And firms excelling at data literacy don't just make better AI decisions&mdash;they preserve institutional knowledge, streamline critical project decisions, and gain substantial competitive advantages.
<blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote">Data literacy isn&rsquo;t just about understanding spreadsheets. It&rsquo;s about recognizing how your project data connects to design decisions, how historical performance can inform future strategies, and how to structure information so that both humans and AI can make sense of it.</blockquote>
The discussion also addressed the evolving regulatory landscape. With new privacy regulations and professional liability considerations emerging around AI use, firms need to establish clear policies before deployment. Vorwerk shared examples of firms that have successfully developed AI governance frameworks aligned with their existing risk management and quality assurance processes.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/b340c46b-7e91-4790-b46b-86c47c4c3aa4.jpg" alt="Niknaz and Aaron presenting the 3Ps framework at AIA25." width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 4) Niknaz and Aaron presenting the 3Ps framework at AIA25.</figcaption>
</figure>
Throughout the presentation, the speakers emphasized that successful AI adoption isn't about finding the most advanced tools&mdash;it's about matching the right solutions to specific firm needs and workflows. The presentation outlined a practical roadmap that attendees could implement immediately:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Evaluate Current Data Infrastructure: Conduct an audit of existing data quality, structure, and security protocols before considering AI tools</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Choose Strategic Pilot Use Cases: Apply the 3Ps framework to identify low-risk, high-value opportunities for initial AI implementation</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Establish AI Governance Policies: Develop clear guidelines that align with company values, legal requirements, and ethical standards for responsible AI use</li>
</ul>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://aecplustech.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/eea69d5f-1d13-4d7c-89c2-121b16775cf4.jpg" alt="" width="1000">
<figcaption>Fig. 5) AI success starts with a solid data foundation</figcaption>
</figure>
Vorwerk concluded the presentation with an AI-generated slide that provided an important caution: "Don't let AI hype outrun your readiness." The speakers emphasized that firms rushing to implement AI without addressing foundational data management and security concerns are setting themselves up for significant risks. "The firms that will succeed with AI are those that approach it methodically&mdash;building strong data foundations, choosing tools purposefully, and maintaining strict privacy standards."
Niknaz reinforced this message by noting that the industry's complex project requirements and regulatory environment demand a more thoughtful approach than other sectors. "We're not just building software&mdash;we're building environments where people live, work, and gather," she told the audience. "That responsibility extends to how we implement AI in our design and construction processes."
The presentation provided three key takeaways for conference attendees:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Foundation first, innovation second: Even the most sophisticated AI may generate hallucinations without clean, structured, secure input data. Firms must establish robust data management and security protocols before implementing AI tools.</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">The 3Ps framework is universally applicable: Every firm, regardless of size, can benefit from evaluating AI tools through the Practical, Purposeful, and Private lens. Tools that fail any of these tests may create more risk than value.</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Data literacy drives competitive advantage: The firms investing in data literacy across their teams are making better AI decisions and extracting more value from their technology investments.</li>
</ul>
The conversations with attendees at this major industry conference reinforced that responsible AI adoption in our industry requires balancing innovation with security, efficiency with ethics, and technological capability with practical implementation. The thoughtful questions and engaged discussion showed that architects are ready to embrace AI&mdash;they just want to do it right.
As the industry continues to navigate this "jazz age of AI," the firms that will thrive are those that approach these powerful tools with the same rigor and responsibility they bring to designing the built environment.

D5 helps teams align faster, iterate better, and communicate ideas more clearly&mdash;even in high-stakes moments. It&rsquo;s not just a renderer&mdash;it&rsquo;s a decision accelerator.
<h2>Onboarding and Support: Designed for Adoption, Built for Scale</h2>
Switching platforms can be disruptive. D5 Render eases the transition with tiered onboarding:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Individual Users: Library of tutorials, sample projects, and in-app guidance.</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 15px;" aria-level="1">Enterprise Teams: Structured workshops, dedicated account managers, and responsive support channels.</li>
</ul>
The aim is not just to teach a tool, but to weave it into the creative and operational rhythms of practice.
<h2>Looking Ahead: Agents, Environments, and Ecosystems</h2>
What&rsquo;s next? Huang outlines a roadmap filled with AI-powered agents, procedural ecosystems, and deeper cloud-native functionality. Features like Smart Scattering and PCG Vines hint at a future where design iteration is not just possible&mdash;it&rsquo;s encouraged.
<blockquote class="graf graf--blockquote">Rendering shouldn&rsquo;t be a bottleneck, Huang reflects. It should be a catalyst.</blockquote>
In D5&rsquo;s world, visualization is no longer a concluding flourish. It&rsquo;s a core tool, accessible, intelligent, and woven into every phase of architectural thinking. D5&rsquo;s mission has always been to deliver a workflow truly designed for architects and spatial designers&mdash;one that frees every creative mind from software constraints and guides the design process into a genuine state of flow.

D5 Render is transforming architectural visualization by making rendering a real-time, collaborative, and AI-enhanced part of the design process—rather than a final step.

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.

Over three decades of experience have taught us that the most extraordinary homes aren’t born from blueprints alone. They’re born from vision, collaboration, and a builder who truly listens. We’ve had the privilege of working with families across Alberta to craft personalized homes that don’t just check boxes—they tell stories. These stories are embedded in every beam, every corner, every carefully considered detail.

We proudly serve the unique, character-filled communities of Edmonton, Strathcona County, Sturgeon County, Beaumont, Ardrossan, Gibbons, Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, and Leduc County. These communities are where tradition meets progress, where natural beauty meets timeless architecture, and where families choose to root their legacies.

Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic estate with sweeping views or a modern home with minimalist elegance, we work hand-in-hand with you to bring your dream to life in a way that feels effortless and deeply rewarding.

But we don’t stop at aesthetics. We care about how your home lives and breathes. We ask questions that other builders might not—about how you move through your day, how you gather, how you rest, and how your family will grow. Because every home we build is designed to enhance daily life, support meaningful connection, and grow with you for decades to come.

The result is more than just a beautiful house—it’s a legacy. One built on a foundation of quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and sincere partnership.

We understand that building a custom home is one of life’s biggest investments—not just financially, but emotionally. That’s why we are committed to delivering not only excellence in construction, but peace of mind through the entire journey. Our team manages the process with transparency, accountability, and care.

While many builders can talk about "dream homes," we challenge our clients to dream even bigger. Imagine a home that fits you perfectly, down to the smallest detail. A home that reflects your passions, your lifestyle, and your legacy. That’s the Landover difference.

Because we’re not just building homes. We’re crafting sanctuaries. We’re building meaning, connection, and belonging. We’re building the backdrop to your most cherished moments and your family’s future. At Landover Homes, we build with heart, with integrity, and with an unwavering commitment to making your vision real.

Solibri CheckPoint: Web-Based BIM Model Checking for AEC
In fast-moving AEC projects, BIM model checking, coordination, and data quality can make or break schedules. Teams must review design intent, data validation, and constructability while juggling multiple file formats and common data environments (CDEs). Solibri CheckPoint addresses that reality with a streamlined, web-based BIM workflow: open your browser, review the model, run standardized checks, and share issues with the people who can resolve them&mdash;without installing heavy software or retraining your team.
CheckPoint is built for accessibility and consistency. Because it natively handles both Revit and IFC models, reviewers work from the same source information without exporting or converting files, reducing handoffs and version confusion. Its cloud workspace supports real-time collaboration, so designers, BIM managers, and coordinators can identify, assign, and track issues in one place&mdash;keeping feedback loops short and transparent.
The platform focuses on checks that matter across disciplines: clash detection for constructibility, property/data checks to enforce modeling standards, and free-space/clearance rules to protect operational and safety requirements. A built-in Data Viewer lets teams interrogate quantities and attributes alongside the 3D model, surface patterns, and export results&mdash;useful for early risk reviews or closing out punch-list items with clear evidence. Project Library features allow admins to publish shared filters, rule sets, and data views so every project starts with the same, proven templates, improving repeatability and auditability.
Integration is practical. CheckPoint connects to Autodesk Construction Cloud and Procore (among others) to keep models current and reduce duplicate uploads. Issues can move with the team via direct sync or BCF export, so nothing gets lost when work spans multiple platforms. For firms standardizing QA/QC, this makes it realistic to put lightweight checking into more milestones&mdash;from schematic coordination to preconstruction reviews&mdash;without adding another complex system to maintain.
If your goal is to raise BIM quality while minimizing overhead, Solibri CheckPoint offers a focused path: accessible model checking, consistent templates, and collaborative issue management that fits how multidisciplinary AEC teams already work.

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.

3 Ways Egnyte Helps AEC Firms Tap Into the Public Cloud 

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.

ASHRAE are one of the foremost industry pioneers in the decarbonization of the built environment and their new global Headquarters building in Atlanta, renovated to operate as a net-zero-energy (NZE) building, is testament to this. The project design team, which includes IESVE users, Integral Group, employed a range of innovative design strategies to achieve this net-zero energy ready building.

Subsequent building performance analysis from a group of ASHRAE Technical Committee 4.1 Members, including IES’ Liam Buckley, highlighted some of the simulation-aided design analysis on this ASHRAE Headquarters building. The following overview summarizes the many innovative categories worth highlighting from the project, in which an IESVE building performance model was able to support.


(1)   Net-Zero Energy Building

ASHRAE’s new headquarters is designed to operate as an all-electric at Net-Zero Energy (NZE) building, thanks to the installation of a 332-kW photovoltaic (PV) system. The PV system is a combination of three sub-arrays, which are sub-metered in the Building Energy Model shown below:

187 kW ballasted rooftop array on east & west wings
65 kW ground mount on a south-facing hill adjacent to the building
81 kW ground mount situated in an unused section of a car parking area

(2)   Simulation throughout Design Phases

Thanks to the PV installation, a limiting Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of 21 kBtu/ft2 was targeted for this existing building refurbishment.  Iterative design options throughout the design phases resulted in a range of low-energy solutions. These include:  

A reconfigured window-to-wall ratio (WWR) and 18 new skylights.
Common Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) for outdoor air ventilation, coupled with enthalpy heat recovery.
Radiant panels and Ceiling Fans.
Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) in high occupancy spaces and Displacement Ventilation (DV).
Six water source-heat pumps (WSHPs)

(3)   Optimized Load Calculations using the ASHRAE Heat Balance Method

For over 20 years, ASHRAE has recommended the Heat Balance (HB) Method as the preferred method for calculating heating & cooling loads. With such a low-energy target in mind, a considerate zoning strategy and accurate load calculations are very important.  Included in the load’s analysis:

Horizontal and vertical solar shading on most windows.
Sensible Loads analysis at the zone and Latent Loads Analysis at the AHU.
Heat gains from the reversible ceiling fans.
Analysis of Adaptive Thermal Comfort for Occupants and Operative Temperature.

(4)   Exceptional Daylight Performance (Spatial Daylight Autonomy, sDA)

Of the many daylighting metrics available, Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) likely best considers the annual sufficiency of indoor daylight levels. In the in regularly occupied spaces of the ASHRAE HQ, the working plane analysis areas are considered for sDA, for the percentage that meets a minimum illuminance level of 300 lux, for 50% of the operational hours per year. The 18 new skylights provide an exceptional daylight performance, which is especially impressive considering the simultaneous requirements from a thermal/energy perspective





ASHRAE Headquarters - Net-Zero Energy Building Design

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.

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. Throughout the project, IESVE was used to optimize the insulation and glazing performance and for load sizing of the HVAC equipment.”

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.”

David Park, Building Analysis & Modeling Manager, UMC

The atrium of the Engineering II building represents a unique space, with students passing through 24 hours a day for their studies and research projects.

With the goal of creating a “home-away-from-home” environment, University officials sought to renovate the building to be a place where students and faculty could feel comfortable and experience natural daylight, views and ventilation. Officials also wanted the atrium to be highly efficient, keeping carbon emissions and energy costs to a minimum.

With students and faculty occupying the building at all times of the day, officials were faced with a particularly difficult challenge: ventilating the atrium while maximizing the use of daylight to naturally light the space. A stringent temperature comfort range meant both daylighting and ventilation had to integrate flawlessly, as the minimum temperature could not drop below 66 degrees Fahrenheit and the maximum could not exceed 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

University officials enlisted Ambient Energy, a consulting and engineering firm specializing in sustainable technologies and building, for the renovation. Using IESVE, Ambient Energy engineers were able to test and verify the architectural and passive strategy concepts for the atrium before implementing them. Initially, wind and climate analysis gave a better understanding of how natural factors would impact the building. Analyses showed that because of varied wind direction, natural ventilation would rely predominantly on buoyancy instead of wind driven data.

By providing tangible data early in the schematic redesign process, IESVE provided designers and their clients with a way to test and verify their building efficiency theories before putting them into practice. This led to the effective utilization of skylights and natural ventilation to improve daylighting, cooling and energy efficiency in the atrium. Ambient Energy has been using IES’ software for several years and utilized its capabilities on many projects to prove concepts and radically reduce building energy consumption.

“VE for Engineers is one of the only tools that can provide integrated daylight, thermal and mixed-mode ventilation analysis in great detail, which allowed us to test the integration of all components across the year.”

Since 2012, Chicago-based consulting firm, Cyclone Energy Group, have been providing analysis, cutting-edge insights, and practical solutions for achieving energy efficiency at all stages of the commercial building life cycle. During this time, they have used IESVE software on between 400-500 models, to help deliver the best results for their clients.

As many of their projects involve extremely complex high-rise buildings, Cyclone Energy Group required a reliable software tool which could handle the complexity of such buildings and their unique systems. With a major focus of their services centring around code compliance, LEED and systems modelling, they found IESVE to be the most comprehensive suite of energy modelling software to provide the capabilities and level of technical detail which their projects require.

Most of Cyclone’s projects begin with geometry creation in IESVE’s ModelIT tool. This has been particularly useful for many of their large-scale high-rise projects, where they have found the capacity of other modelling software to be too limited. ModelIT has also become their go-to geometry tool for Californian Title24 compliance projects. The  detailed geometry option for Title24 can be especially challenging. While a common approach involves building the geometry in one tool, then translating in another before it can be read by the Californian government’s CBECC-Com platform, the Cyclone team have found this approach to be fairly time consuming, due to the amount of debugging required at each stage of the geometry transfer. Instead, they create all of their geometry in ModelIT and export the XML file directly to CBECC-Com, eliminating the level of debugging typically required. In fact, Cyclone estimate that this approach has helped them make time savings of approximately 50% on their Title24 projects.

The Navigators embedded within the software - in particular the ASHRAE 90.1 and LEED navigators – have also helped make life much easier for the Cyclone team when delivering LEED and code compliance projects. This has been especially true for their entry-level modellers, providing them with a step-by-step workflow to streamline their projects and take a lot of the pain out of what may otherwise be a fairly complex learning process.

However, the favourite application of Cyclone’s team is ApacheHVAC. Most other energy modelling software tools on the market do not offer logic level controls, meaning the user simply selects a generic system type, assigns the zone and then runs the simulation. However, this approach is not adequate for reliable modelling of complex HVAC systems and can often lead to inaccuracy in the end results. IES’ ApacheHVAC tool provides a much more detailed and customizable approach, allowing the user to model almost any type of HVAC design, using logic level controls to generate reliable results and simulate aspects such as plant level heat transfer and chiller plant. This capability is particularly important to Cyclone when dealing with detail-oriented clients and is a level of functionality which the team have found to be rare in the market.

The ability to perform a wide range of different analyses from a single platform is another added benefit to Cyclone. Recently, they have noticed a growing demand for daylight simulation studies which the RadianceIES tool has enabled them to provide. This has been particularly useful for LEED applications, including Spatial Daylight
Autonomy (sDA) and Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE) calculations, as well as glare possibility studies. Meanwhile, the VE’s airflow applications – MicroFlo and MacroFlo
– have enabled them to include building type CFD and other airflow analyses within their services, with recent project examples including a chiller plant temperature
distribution study and a wind analysis of an office building, looking at wind directed odors to outdoor air louvers.

Cyclone are clearly passionate about providing accurate results for their clients and the results analysis capabilities of VistaPro, they believe, help them achieve this - especially when it comes to debugging HVAC systems components within a model. Through a combination of high-quality visualisations and comparisons, and the ability to evaluate how the design operates on a step-by-step basis, the team can easily pick up errors and deliver reliable results to their clients with confidence.

“For us, reliability is key. We have explored other modelling tools in the past but have never felt like those are capable of doing what we as a business need. I’ve trained several modellers now and always tell them, to model in a detailed and technical way, go for IES.”

Zero Envy used IESVE to achieve 46% less Time Dependant Valuation (TDV) energy than Title 24, equating to $400,000 cost savings per year for this 95,000 sf new construction project. The project was also awarded $150,000 utility incentive which is the maximum available via the statewide incentive program for energy efficiency ‘Savings by Design’. This incentive helped to cover modeling and other design costs.

Using IESVE, the Zero Envy team modeled and advised on the implementation of the following energy efficiency measures:

Unique 4-pipe VAV terminal units: Adds a chilled water coil to terminal unit with a changeover valve & piping arrangement. This allows the AHU supply air temperature (SAT) to “float” in a wider range without jeopardizing zonal temperature and significantly reducing wasteful sub-cooling and reheat energy.
 
VAV lab exhaust was applied to all laboratory zones, regardless of minimum air change requirements. This allows zones to use reduced minimum airflow rates during the majority of hours as it can increase as needed based on increased ventilation demand (e.g. fume hood sashes being raised) or heating/ cooling demand.
This project is also pursuing LEED certification, and is on track to achieve a Gold rating.

Medical Research Facility in Southern California:

Using IESVE, the Zero Envy team were able to achieve 38% less Time Dependant Valuation (TDV) energy than Title 24, equating to $170,000 cost savings per year for this 60,000 sf existing building. The project was also awarded $500,000 utility incentive which is the maximum available for exceptional projects via the statewide incentive program for energy efficiency ‘Savings by Design’. This incentive helped to cover modeling and other design costs.

Using IESVE, the Zero Envy team modeled and advised on the implementation of the following energy efficiency measures:

VAV lab exhaust (very similar to higher education institution project, except that it utilized the centralized DCV system as described below)
 
Centralized DCV system - This system provides a centralized air quality monitoring station and pneumatic tubing that extracts air from each individual room, tests it for various contaminants, and can raise alarms and controls the building automation system (BAS). The BAS uses concentrations to increase airflow rates to zones that need it - either from CO2 rise from occupants or more harmful contaminants.

“California’s prescribed software and simulation engine does not accommodate the modeling of many features used in advanced building designs, including the major efficiency measures used in both of these case study projects. For this reason, our team chose to use the VE for its ability to handle custom systems and detailed tuning of HVAC sequences. In general, the VE allows us to model and inform most buildings and systems without constraint.”
Greg Collins Principal Engineer, Zero Envy

“Design innovations are becoming increasingly more challenging to model and quantify benefits for our clients. Utilizing VE helped quantify the performance benefits that our clients received from these novel designs.”
Nathan Ho Associate Principal, P2S Engineering*

Zero Envy - Title 24 Energy Code Compliance

The McDonalds’s restaurant in Orlando, Florida combines modern architecture with technology to create enough renewable energy on-site to cover its energy needs on a net annual basis. Its aim is ultimate efficiency in energy usage and performance.

To help the popular restaurant group achieve this, WSP used IESVE to conduct detailed and extensive energy analysis to help inform the design and ensure it was on track for net-zero targets. This was particularly challenging due to the high Energy Use Intensity (EUI) level that you would expect from this building type. Most projects pursuing net-zero have lower EUI and for the most part improving the efficiency of the building envelope is enough to reach net-zero. However, for this project the team had to think outside the box and go above and beyond usual strategies.

IESVE was instrumental to this as it allowed WSP to model complicated scenarios and carry out really extensive analysis, including natural ventilation, detailed modelling of the kitchen equipment, including the different controls, and setting up the advanced VRF system that serves the space. 

The IESVE facilitated an integrative design process where the WSP team worked closely with the Architect and were able to quickly edit the model geometry in line with changes to the design and get results to make informed decisions throughout. Getting accurate results was particularly important to this project as they had to size the PV panels based on the results from the energy analysis, and they found IESVE very reliable for this. 

Another challenge for the team, was investigating Passive strategies. Orlando has a very hot climate, so the team had to explore possibilities to reduce solar gains in the project. IESVE was used to analyse shading strategies, different geometries and different facades to measure and control solar gains. 

Other passive strategies such as natural ventilation was tested in MacroFlo. The WSP team found it useful to have a simple version of CFD to measure how natural ventilation and different openings were helping and how to reduce cooling consumption in the building. The hot climate meant that cooling was definitely one of the big end uses for the project. From the beginning the Architect wanted to use natural ventilation where possible, so WSP ran analysis to see how many openings were needed and where, which was all made possible using MacroFlo.

It was decided to use a Hybrid HVAC system which is a combination of VRF and natural ventilation. The team were impressed with the ability to model this complex system in IESVE, noting that no other tool could detail a system like this and switch between natural ventilation and mechanical air conditioning.

Modeling the kitchen equipment loads was challenging for the team. As previously mentioned, the energy-use for the project is very high, with the kitchen equipment accounting for almost half of the total energy. Another goal of the project was electrification, so all the kitchen equipment is electric including the grills and fryers which use a lot of energy. The building will serve thousands of meals a day and Disney World is a crowded place all year.

For calculating the kitchen equipment, WSP sub-metered another McDonald’s restaurant project to figure out the schedule of each piece of equipment and they then created a schedule for them in the IESVE. This was useful as they discovered that grills and fryers were not running all day even though it is a 24/7 restaurant. Using actual real-time data and translating it to include better scheduling in IESVE for each piece of equipment enabled the team to lower the energy result at the end of the project and also understand better which equipment is using the most energy. 

With the high volume of meals being served, even the heat gain from the food has an impact on the space. WSP included the food as a load in the VE so they were capturing that for the cooling consumption in addition to the usual occupancy and other sensible latent loads for the space. Fans were also incorporated to accelerate natural ventilation.

The final result was one of the first net-zero projects that has had this level of energy intensity. The 8,024 square-foot restaurant features an expansive, v-shaped solar-paneled roof and photovoltaic glass panels integrated throughout the building. Green, plant-covered walls absorb CO2, promoting biodiversity and retaining water. Louvers open and close automatically ‘inhaling” cool air in and “exhaling” warm air out. Solar parking lot lights help offset more than 9,000 kWh per year.

To solidify the restaurant’s Net Zero Energy status, the project is pursuing the International Living Future Institute’s Zero Energy Certification. Data and learnings from the restaurant will also inform McDonald’s global sustainability efforts, including progressing toward the company’s science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 36% in restaurants and offices by 2030 compared to a 2015 base year.

This global flagship restaurant will now serve as a learning hub for McDonald’s to test solutions for reducing energy and water use, a testament to the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation.

“This was a very exciting project with aggressive net-zero targets and a real passion to meet these goals. The design process was truly integrative and holistic and required a software that enabled this. We believe IESVE is the only software available to truly enable this. For this project, the analysis was so in-depth and extensive that we used all the energy applications – ApacheSim, ApacheHVAC, MacroFlo, and Suncast. A great benefit was the ability to model the openings and how they open up in great detail in IESVE. Being able to set up the actual control profiles and tie that to the actual sequence of operation for the project is crucial when it comes to natural ventilation, as most of the time software will use default controls that wouldn’t be used in reality. In IES we were able to match that precisely to the sequence of operation in reality or an accurate measurement.”

Using architectural drawings to create a 3D model of the building, VE Solutions were able to use the IES VE to consider how heat conduction from people, lighting, the sun and through the building itself would affect comfort levels.

When it came to right-sizing the HVAC equipment, many different parameters affecting performance and comfort levels were considered. The resulting 3D model meant VE Solutions could really visualise the space and analyse specific areas of concern in more detail, in a way not possible with just a spreadsheet full of data.

As well as reducing the cost of the HVAC equipment, the integrated nature of the VE modules and their ability to handle heavy load calculations and hourly data, meant that VE Solutions could more accurately size equipment to optimise performance by room.

As well as providing ample cooling on a hot day, right-sized fan coil units de-humidify more effectively on a humid day. That was very important to the Four Seasons because New York gets very humid in the summer and oversized equipment won’t take out the moisture.

“The VE has taken our ability to value engineer HVAC systems to a new level. The sophisticated way the ApacheSim, ApacheHVAC and SunCast modules integrate together enabled us to gain a better understanding of the building loads, which helped us reduce HVAC costs while actually improving the comfort of the building. We were able to reduce the amount of equipment, ductwork and piping required, significantly reducing costs and contributing to the client’s goal to start construction this year.”

Boca Raton Regional Hospital is currently undergoing an extensive retrofit which includes the new Gloria Drummond Patient Tower as its centrepiece, due to be completed in 2025. The seven-story facility will include retail, dining and meeting space, as well as a sanctuary, and outdoor courtyards. Beyond the tower, other enhancements to the hospital campus include the conversion of all existing patient rooms to private, as well as comprehensive renovations to all units including maternity, oncology and orthopaedics.

The IESVE is officially approved by the Florida Building Commission as a code compliance software tool and utilizes the ASHRAE 90.1-2016 Appendix G Performance Rating Method compliance procedure as a method in the 2020 Florida Energy Code. Using the IES Navigator technology within IESVE, TLC was able to quickly and easily step through the process of creating the proposed building model with numerous Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) options such as series counterflow chillers, bespoke shading elements customized by façade, dehumidification air handling units, and complex controls strategies to name a few. The Navigator also allowed them to auto-generate the baseline/budget building model, and auto-generate all the required reports.

IESVE was also used to quickly and accurately generate all of the loads for the project, taking into account ASHRAE Standard 170, 62.1, and calculating heating/ cooling loads. The TLC team also modelled each of the various shading elements to reduce the solar load to near zero on the exterior patient rooms as illustrated below.

By implementing the suggested Energy Conservation Measures the hospital would achieve 40.22% energy savings.

“The team used IESVE to quickly provide quantitative analysis on the exterior and MEP systems of the building. The speed at which we could make model adjustments and rerun to get results, allowed us to study each iteration of ECM fully and completely to optimize which ones would provide the owner the most value to implement.”
