Sefaira for SketchUp

Finally: energy analysis that actually helps architects design better buildings. Sefaira for SketchUp provides real-time analysis inside architects? native design environment, enabling architects to drive design decisions like form, orientation and facade design with real performance analysis. Sefaira?s incredibly intuitive interface shows at a glance how a design is performing, and helps designers connect the dots between geometry, energy use, and potential improvements — without requiring energy modelling expertise. Designers can instantly see which design elements are contributing to heating and cooling loads ? actionable data that they can use to improve performance. The process is so effortless that Sefaira for SketchUp does not even include a ?Run? button; analysis is no longer a task but rather occurs automatically when the model is changed, and therefore happens in parallel, with minimal wait time and no additional actions. Models are interpreted automatically as they are built. These innovations mean that architects can test unlimited design options without worrying about time or cost of analysis. Due to this ease of use, Sefaira for SketchUp allows sustainable design leaders to push best practices throughout their firms, enabling every designer to improve building performance, and embedding the principle of ?analyse early, analyse often? into firm-wide workflows. Sefaira for SketchUp enables architects everywhere to perform energy analysis in the earliest stages of design, when it can make the most impact at lowest cost. Links: – https://vimeo.com/95867320
