![]() Ecotect can simulate some building performances with this criteria with a wide range of simulation such as sun-shading design, daylighting, artificial lighting, cfd simulation, thermal comfort, cooling load and electricity consumption. For early stage of design process, it is very important to uses a software that enable us to integrate intuitively architect’s ways with an easy understanding simulation result for architects. ![]() In the Greenship rating system of Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI), the chance for green building simulation has been opened especially on daylighting, air movement and energy simulation. Any building performance that can’t be simulated yet had to be calculated manually such Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) but some parts of the formula can be supported by Ecotect to calculate U-value and shading percentage (G). As example for energy simulation, Ecocect is useful for early stage of the design process, but as the design nears completion it needs Energyplus for more accurate simulation. The simulation process has been supported by various tools such as Ecotect, Energyplus, etc, that each software has some specific abilities for some specific simulations. The building performance simulations and calculations are very important things for the future performance prediction of the building we have designed.
