Greenplan - sustainable building design and analysis

SANS 10400-XA Certified

DesignBuilder has been certified by Agrément South Africa for energy modelling of buildings.

Suitable to calculate energy requirements for all building types, including:

small domestic buildings
large commercial and institutional buildings with complex Heating Ventilation and Airconditioning systems

Simulation results suitable for both rational design routes:

model reference and actual buildings and compare results
model actual building and compare with stipulated energy thresholds

Sustainable building design and analysis

Building Transformed - DesignBuilder can help you to transform the way your buildings are designed, built and operated and turn them into environmentally responsible and energy- & resource-efficient assets that save money in terms of life cycle costs.
Concept to final product - DesignBuilder software offers state-of-the-art technology that can be applied to any stage of the building design or evaluation process - from concept to as-built. Options are provided for parametric studies in order to optimize design parameters.

Models - Building models can be assembled by means of an easy-to-use OpenGL solid modeller or by importing existing CAD drawings.
Validation - DesignBuilder and it's simulation engine, EnergyPlus are tested frequently and thoroughly and comply with Green Star SA simulation software requirements.
