Bldg-sim subscribers,
I am interested in learning about your experiences with Ecotect. I am particularly interested in learning about its relative strengths and weaknesses as a schematic design tool. Our firm is in the process of integrating it more fully into our design process and while I'm sure we will learn by experience it would be helpful to hear some "war stories" from others. I would also like to hear about your relative reliance on Ecotect versus other modeling tools in the early stages of design.
Thank you in advance,

Hello Brian,
Please find attached some useful info about Energy Modelling Tools for
early stage design this will help you to highlights the advantages and
disadvantages of different softwares, Including Ecotect, TAS,
GBS...Etc...
(Note: The report is back to 2005 or 04, therefore a few features are
changes, such as import/export capabilities which Ecotec really improve
from previous versions)
Hope this will help....
