Use cases

Integrated building performance modeling.

Use Enscape Impact to perform fast energy simulations directly integrated within Enscape and your chosen design application (Archicad, Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Vectorworks). This enables students and educators to assess energy performance, leading to more sustainable designs.

Early-stage design exploration.

Explore various design concepts with performance analysis in mind from the outset. This allows for optimizing both aesthetics and energy efficiency without significant rework later in the project.

Educational tool for students.

Serve as a learning tool to understand the principles of sustainable design and building performance. The intuitive interface and tooltips can guide students through performance concepts. Visualize key performance metrics such as Peak Cooling & Heating Loads, CO2 Carbon Intensity, and Energy Use Intensity within the design model. This helps with understanding the impact of design changes on building performance.
