Interactive visual and rich-text reports. A variety of VE-Toolkits offer different capabilities – automatically running the chosen analysis and generating interactive visual and rich-text reports within minutes, and all at the press of just a few buttons. Technical selections are also made straightforward with pre-populated choices.

Easy model import. Direct connectivity to SketchUp™, Revit® and ArchiCAD® allows quick, effective feedback direct from early architectural models. A choice of typical building properties eliminates the need for detailed information, while links to global weather files provide real climate data.

Analysis to understanding. VE-Toolkit users will build an important understanding of how the proposed design responds to the environment, and what strategies are candidates for further investigation. Answering the question, “am I moving in the right direction?”, the IES VE-Toolkits help the design team establish the most appropriate sustainable and energy efficient approach – one that can be progressed in detail using VE-Gaia and VE-Pro."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
