“Energy efficiency in a building is achieved by addressing small improvements at every possible opportunity. The ability of IES’ VE software to construct a detailed model and perform simulation within a short time has been crucial to achieve high efficiency at a low capital cost for our clients. I have looked into various building simulation software tools in the past and, in my opinion, IES has the best overall balance in terms of modelling details, ease of use and stability. In short, it allowed complicated issues to be studied quickly to give the best solution for our clients.”
“The functionality offered by IESVE was extremely useful in this project. MacroFlo, in particular, was vital for modelling the natural ventilation strategy and ApacheHVAC offers much better capability for modelling custom HVAC systems than what other software has to offer. The ability to view results, for example, air temperatures with a video rendering in VistaPro is also fantastic and particularly useful for validating and interrogating your results – you can see exactly what’s going on in each zone. That, for me, is one of the strongest points of IES.”
