The ARES Trinity of CAD software by Graebert

The ARES Trinity of CAD software encompasses three integrated software products: ARES Commander, ARES Kudo, and ARES Touch.

Open-Source

C.Scale is a whole life carbon tool supporting climate-positive design decisions across the building design and delivery life cycle, especially in early project phases when data is scarce but the potential for emissions reduction is high. To overcome the scarcity of data, C.Scale uses a model that combines regionally-specific background data, forward-looking projections, peer-reviewed findings, and industry-leading ML models to assess the relative impact of a variety of carbon reduction measures on a project’s embodied, operational, and landscape carbon footprints. 

Aggressive time-based targets have been set for the built environment as part of a society-wide strategy to combat the climate crisis. To meet these targets, quantification of the project’s whole life carbon footprint cannot wait until later project stages, at which point many impactful decisions have already been made. C.Scale is designed as the first step in an iterative low-carbon design process, setting out strategies and project-level targets that can be refined throughout the project lifecycle.

C.Scale is designed to allow a user to enter a strict minimum of project parameters and to test a wide range of the most meaningful carbon reduction strategies. These parameters are insufficient, of course, to describe the complexity of any real project. In rough terms, C.Scale is designed as a conceptual parallel to ‘shoebox’ energy or daylight models—the results do not correspond directly to a specific building but can help us to understand which strategies could perform well, are unlikely to succeed, or are worthy of more attention.

AI-driven tools make climate action easy.

Our proprietary machine learning models fill in the data gaps so design teams everywhere can build whole life carbon strategy into their workflow with minimum effort.

C.Scale

C.Scale (formerly EPIC) is a workflow tool empowering everyone to design low-carbon buildings. Optimize early, win more projects, and build toward a zero-carbon future.

The platform prioritizes your privacy by ensuring your data never leaves your machine. No registration is required to use features like the section tool, dimension tool, plan manager, property picking, object tree, and orthographic mode.

Create a free account to access additional features, including advanced IDS (Information Delivery Specification) editing and IFC validation, querying and quantity take-offs, and cloud sync for models across devices.

NodePen is a web client for Grasshopper, a visual programming language for Rhinoceros 3D. Rhino 7 shipped with "headless" API capabilities that power this shallow wrapper for the same Grasshopper you know and love.

The project is under active development, but you can tinker with the latest build by visiting nodepen.io. Work will continue marching along on nights and weekends! You should check out what I'm doing with some other cool people at Hypar in the meantime.

## Features
Compose, execute, and view results from your Grasshopper graphs in the browser
Open the same graph in multiple browser windows for the "two screen" UX we've come to love with Rhino and Grasshopper
Edit graphs from your desktop or from your touchscreen devices
Download your current graph to continue work in Grasshopper offline
## Feedback
Thank you for trying NodePen! This project continues to be a place where I improve my craft as a software developer with the serious veneer of product considerations.

If you found a bug, felt a common Grasshopper feature was blatantly missing, or just have some thoughts you'd like to share, please open an issue or reach out (@cdriesler) on twitter!

## Running Locally
NodePen has grown well beyond its early days as an single page app. It's currently not possible to run the entire app locally without also including shims for dependencies on Google Cloud products or a locally running instance of Redis. I'm actively working on what to do about this.

## Release History
### Third Iteration
After about two and a half years of development, NodePen released with user accounts, sharing, and script persistence on January 10, 2022. This marked a symbolic "1.0" release, but there was still a lot to do! Most of the native Grasshopper library was not yet supported, and there was no way to browse scripts on the platform.

The 1.0 editor (no solutions or profiles or sharing) was released on August 8, 2021. The Rhino Compute backend was brought back online and solutions were re-enabled on November 5, 2021.

### Second Iteration
The public test (release) was online between May 7, 2021 and August 8, 2021. Over three months, it delivered 24,765 solutions to 2,501 unique users. It validated the queue-based backend solution infrastructure, but the editor experience left a lot to be desired (especially on mobile devices, which accounted for >70% (!) of all visits).

### First Iteration
The first release on this repo (release) was the end of an initial proof-of-concept phase that started with isolated viability tests and sketches in Winter 2019.

Yes this project was called "glasshopper" for a long time and I don't want to talk about it.

The xbim toolkit is a .Net open-source software development BIM toolkit that supports the BuildingSmart Data Model (aka the Industry Foundation Classes IFC), which is the recommended format for data exchange in the building sector.

Our goal is to be the digital building information platform of choice for owners and managers of buildings assets, and the organisations in their procurement chains. 

xbim are vocal supporters of using open standards for data where possible. ​
We think it’s in the best interests of your organisation, your clients and supply-chain, and ultimately the occupants of the facilities you build, refurbish and operate. ​
By exchanging building data in open formats, you help collaboration and interoperability in the supply chain.​
The clients and occupants of a building get data they need to work with for the long term, without “vendor lock-in”.
