Therefore, these findings show that Ecotect TM cannot be used for accurate simulations of thermal loads and illuminance levels. The validation results showed that Ecotect TM underestimated thermal loads in all the analyzed cases and overestimated illuminance levels in 98% of the analyzed cases.
The field measurements were then compared to the simulated thermal loads and illuminance levels obtained by Ecotect TM. The thermal loads and illuminance levels of the building were first measured in the field. Autodesk Ecotect Analysis is an energy simulation tool, compatible with BIM. Analysis of thermal performance of an institutional building was conducted for one year while the daylighting performance was studied from January to September. Using building information modeling (BIM) and Ecotect, this paper estimated. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to validate accuracy of Ecotect TM for thermal and daylighting simulations of buildings and provide recommendations to the Architecture, Engineering and Construction community on application of Ecotect TM. I gotta say that is a very easy to use tool, with a very short learning curve that lets you conduct several analysis on. Department of Energy, has not been validated yet. A few years ago i started using Ecotect v4 for energy analysis on projects. Autodesk Ecotect TM is an environmental analysis software which according to the U.S.
