SEDR is hosting a presentation on IES Energy Simulation Software.
One
of the major players in energy simulation is Integrated Environmental
Solutions, with software targeted towards Engineers (VE Pro) and
Architects (VE-Gaia). We will
hear from Nathan Kegel (IES Ltd). and Ken Hall (Director of Sustainable Design,
Gensler). Gensler uses IES (VE-Gaia
& VE-Pro).
Nathan and Ken will provide architects, engineers,
sustainability consultants and academia with an overview of both early-stage
and detailed analysis capabilities within the IES software, many of
which are applicable to various LEED rating systems including ASHRAE 90.1 PRM
(Appendix G).
The software is ASHRAE Standard 140-2007
certified, EPAct Qualified, and is accepted for LEED Energy, Daylight, Comfort,
Water & Ventilation Credits by the Canadian & US Green Building
Councils. A host of other international rating systems can also be analyzed
in the including BREEAM, Green Star, GreenMark, New Zealand, and
LEED India.
Other capabilities include importing 3D model
buildings from Google SketchUp and Revit; Climate and Solar analysis;
Lamp/luminaire selection and Artificial Lighting Design & Analysis; Day
lighting Analysis including both Radiosity (LEED IEQc8.1) & Radiance
ray-tracing methodologies; Daylight harvesting implementation for energy
savings; Glare Analysis; Occupancy Comfort (LEED IEQc7.1); Renewable Energy
Technologies Analysis (LEED EAc2, EAc6).
