Start Energy Simulation (Energy Evaluation)

Once all necessary input data are obtained by means of geometry analysis and user input, you can start the data input into the VIP-Core calculation engine built into Archicad.

See Energy Performance Evaluation.

Select the Start Energy Simulation button from the Energy Model Review Palette to launch the VIP-Core Calculation Engine, which performs the dynamic energy analysis. Energy Evaluation calculates the energy balance of a building during a period of one year, and displays the results on the Energy Performance Evaluation Report.
