  • Systems and methods for displaying impact analysis data while designing an architectural structure
    Patent number: 10430526
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods enabling a user to receive feedback regarding a computer-implemented design of an architectural structure as the user is designing or otherwise modifying the computer-implemented design using a computer-aided design (CAD) software tool. The feedback (hereafter also referred to as “design feedback”) may provide the user with useful analysis information regarding the architectural structure's predicted characteristics (e.g., operational performance, resource consumption, cost, etc.) based on the current state of the computer-implemented design. In particular, heating and cooling loads associated with the computer-implemented design of the architectural structure can be visually displayed to the user in real or near-real-time along with the relationships to contributing factors that impact the heating and cooling loads.

  • Real-time spatial daylighting analysis for a 3D geometric structure
    Patent number: 9836557
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods enabling a user to receive feedback regarding a computer-implemented design of an architectural structure as the user is designing or otherwise modifying the computer-implemented design using a computer-aided design (CAD) software tool. The feedback (hereafter also referred to as “design feedback”) may provide the user with useful analysis information regarding the architectural structure's predicted characteristics (e.g., operational performance, resource consumption, cost, etc.) based on the current state of the computer-implemented design. In particular, daylighting analyses pertinent to the computer-implemented design of the architectural structure can be visually displayed to the user in real or near-real-time.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FEEDBACK WHILE DESIGNING AN ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20140365182
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods enable a user to receive feedback regarding a computer-implemented design of an architectural structure as the user is designing or otherwise modifying the computer-implemented design using a computer-aided design (CAD) software tool. The feedback (hereafter also referred to as “design feedback”) may provide the user with useful analysis information regarding the architectural structure's predicted characteristics (e.g., operational performance, resource consumption, cost, etc.) based on the current state of the computer-implemented design. As the user performs one or more actions on the computer-implemented design model (e.g., through the CAD software tool), particularly with respect to the geometry or texture of the computer-implemented design model, systems and methods can provide the impact of those actions, possibly at or near the time the actions were executed (e.g., at or near real-time).
