Green Home Design Software – A Look at Energy-10
Currently, everything seems to be turning greener and greener. That is, in an attempt to help save the environment, companies are doing all kinds of changes and go through the different advertising campaigns to make them environmentally more noticeable efforts. This, of course, flows into their products. This concept is also true in the world of home design software. There are currently a number of nature-oriented design house applications available on the market that are specifically designed for creating green designs at home. One such product is Energy-10.
What is Energy-10?
In a nutshell, Energy-10 is very similar to any other program design house on the market. This too is part of the software that helps engineers, architects, builders and create beautiful designs using cutting edge features and functions. However, what distinguishes this product except is that it has the well-being of Mother Nature at the top of its list of priorities.
Aside from having the possibility to create a pleasing aesthetic design, this program also ensures that this construction cost and energy efficient as possible. In more technical terms, Energy-10 is ideal for studying both residential and commercial buildings, distinguished by 1 or 2 temperature zones (usually less than ten thousand square meters).
Green Minded
One of the most impressive features of Energy-10 is that it is able to assess the energy performance of buildings with very little information provided by the user. By entering basic information such as your nearest weather data recorder, the air in the building air conditioning systems, ventilation, heating, floor area, and its geographical position, this program can make accurate initial assessment of how much energy is said to use the building. In doing so, Energy-10 provides the production of home and building designs that are truly effective in all senses of the word.
Joint efforts
Energy-10 is a software designed Home Design and NREL National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Their center for construction and heating systems, is a department that is in the forefront of this initiative widely publicized. They together with other entities, including the solar group at Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Library, and the ECPS or sustainable buildings industry council to make this innovative software.
The result of an excellent product, which is not only effective, in terms of its ability to design, but also a breath of fresh air in the world of building wealth which nature seemed to lose its relevance. Energy-10 is currently available through the SBIC and the additional information is available on their website.
