The latest DesignBuilder release builds on the data visualisation, daylighting, LEED, fa?ade modelling and LCA features from earlier v5 releases. Join us on for a free webinar on 30th August to learn more about the latest tools and to pick up some top tips for getting the most out of the software. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session. New and enhanced software capabilities featured during this webinar will include:
? Some great new additions to the geometry modelling toolset, including: gbXML export, import of 2-D elevation drawings for tracing facade openings etc, selective ghosting of blocks to provide unobstructed editing of any block, and a new way to show building surfaces, zones and blocks in the context of the rest of the building.
? New data visualisation tools allowing results to be colour rendered onto the 3-D model.
? Advanced fa?ade modelling, including an introduction to the new Saint Gobain SageGlass dynamic electrochromic glazing capabilities.
? The latest climate-based daylight modelling tools and reports.
? Construction cost reporting, with options for RICS NRM1 and ASTM UNIFORMAT II outputs.
? The latest automation tools built into DesignBuilder for fast and efficient LEED and ASHRAE 90.1 modelling.
? New HVAC capabilities, including more flexible modelling of radiant surfaces with reversible heating/cooling.
? Assess LEED v4 and BREEAM Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) credits through the One-Click LCA system directly from your DesignBuilder model.
If you can't view the live webinar on the day you can still register and watch the recording later. Register here for the free webinar: DesignBuilder Update Webinar
For those attending the ASHRAE-IBPSA SimBuild Conference in Chicago this September, you may also be interested to know that DesignBuilder will be running a 2-day pre-conference workshop. You can find more details on the conference website here: ASHRAE-IBPSA SimBuild Workshop

Hi David,

I am quite confused about the LCA you mentioned.

Is it the

? Life cycle cost analysis? OR

? Life-cycle assessment mentioned in LEED v4 as *Materials
resources credit- Building lifecycle impact reduction.?*

If it?s the second one, is it acceptable for LEED v4 compliance.

Thanks

Tejas

Hi Tejas,

By ?LCA? I was referring to Life Cycle Assessment, although you can also do Life Cycle Costing (LCC) in DesignBuilder.

You can use these tools to achieve BREEAM Mat 01 LCA and LCC credits and LEED v4 LCA and materials credits.

Kind regards,

David Cocking
