Sustainable Building Design Software Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis sustainable design analysis software is a comprehensive concept-to-detail sustainable building design tool. Ecotect Analysis offers a wide range of simulation and building energy analysis functionality that can improve performance of existing buildings and new building designs. Online energy, water, and carbon-emission analysis capabilities integrate with tools that enable you to visualize and simulate a building's performance within the context of its environment.

• Whole-building energy analysis - Calculate total energy use and carbon emissions of your building model on an annual, monthly, daily, and hourly basis, using a global database of weather information.
• Thermal performance - Calculate heating and cooling loads for models and analyze effects of occupancy, internal gains, infiltration, and equipment.
• Water usage and cost evaluation - Estimate water use inside and outside the building.
• Solar radiation - Visualize incident solar radiation on windows and surfaces, over any period.
• Daylighting - Calculate daylight factors and illuminance levels at any point in the model.
• Shadows and reflections - Display the sun’s position and path relative to the model at any date, time, and location.
