IES Virtual Environment (IESVE)

What is IES Virtual Environment (IESVE)?

Improve the performance of any building.

Built-in software tools for accurate simulation of performance throughout the building.

Used by sustainable design experts around the world, IESVE software is a suite of fast, accurate, sub-hour and full-construction performance simulation tools that can model new and existing buildings of any size and complexity. For architects, engineers and contractors, the platform allows collaboration between teams, from concept to operation. Its power incorporates energy and performance assessment throughout the building life cycle. Integrate performance analysis at the heart of the design process.

• Energy Modeling and Compliance

Analyze the construction and shading form, natural lighting systems constructions, mechanical systems, and compare with your local building code and any eco-building classification system.

• Construction Systems And HVAC Design

Calculations of heating, cooling and sizing loads of HVAC equipment are facilitated with automated calculations and reports.

• Integrated Software

IESVE's 3D model can undergo additional simulation analysis for daylight, airflow, output, as well as exchange BIM data with other platforms.

Featured solutions:

• Calculations of heating loads, cooling and sizing of HVAC equipment
• Building Energy Modeling
• Natural lighting and lighting design
• Compliance with the energy of buildings
• Building Power Compliance (NECB)
• LEED, WELL and the challenge of living building

Interoperability

Integrating Performance Analysis at the heart of the design process, IES offers unmatched interoperability with other CAD design and analysis tools. Smooth and robust two-way information exchange between IESVE and BIM platforms speeds up the design process and facilitates digital design.

Digital Design and Operation

Building Performance needs to be at the center of a Digital Design and Operation approach. IESVE software provides a unique platform that can model, predict, and verify performance continuously throughout a building's lifecycle.
