ArchiWizard for architects

Increase your productivity and stay in the Revit® environment

• Comprehensive ArchiWizard plug-in for Revit 
• Automatic creation of the ArchiWizard model from the Revit model, including families, phases, room location, composition of walls with material properties
• Enrichment of the Revit model by ArchiWizard on material properties, results room by room, and photovoltaic (PV) panels

Leverage 3D models regardless of your CAD software

• IFC file import (IFC 2×3 and IFC 4), and SketchUp® plug-in 
• Automatic retrieval of rooms and walls, as well as their composition 
• Synchronisation with the model when modified, while preserving ArchiWizard choices and parameters already set 

Quickly simulate the impact of natural light and solar energy

• Powerful solar imagery and daylight tools (daylight autonomy, Daylight Factor – DF, Annual Sunlight Exposure – ASE, radiation studies) 
• Compelling and fast visual rendering
• Daylight Factor maps
• Shading geometry accurately considered, without simplification into blocks or single planes 

Make informed decisions on your design choices in the earliest stages and iterate easily

Real-time estimate whenever you change anything of the envelope: 

• Heating and cooling loads and energy performance 
• Summer overheating and thermal comfort 
• Compacity and distribution of window orientations 
• Daylight 
• Photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal energy production 

Unlock efficiencies on environmental analysis

• Wide range of automated functions: import and synchronisation of models, scenarios for occupancy and pre-set wall compositions, identification of thermal bridges and computation U-values, etc
• Reuse of favourite configurations and scenarios from one project to another, contextual helpers
• Full import of the model, with all 3D details, material properties if in the CAD software, room names 
• Standard and customisable report templates, including visuals and graphs

Check compliance with environmental certifications

• Broaden your BREEAM assessment capabilities with fast real-time estimates and accurate results for thermal comfort and daylighting (HEA 01 and HEA 04) 
• Pursue LEED credits 
• Anticipate the energy performance of your design 
• Estimate the carbon footprint of your design with a Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) and all stages of the carbon Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) (soon to be deployed), including embodied carbon and operational carbon

Elevate the sustainability of your projects for all types of buildings and work

• Suitable for retrofit as well as new constructions
• Suitable for dwellings, single houses, offices, hospitals, schools and universities, museums, etc.
• Integrated in BIM processes and suitable for Revit®, SketchUp®, or any CAD file in 3D
• Suitable for light analysis simultaneously with thermal comfort and energy performance optimisation

Leverage embedded libraries of objects and databases

• Automatically populated values for conductivity, density, heat capacity, etc. for a wide range of materials
• Library of ready-to-use objects (PV panels, brise soleils, trees, window types, etc.)
• (Coming soon) Library of actual products from manufacturers with their properties (Knauf, Soprema, Bluetek, Kingspan, Saint Gobain, etc.)
