Enscape Impact: Fast insights for sustainable design
Enscape Impact, developed in partnership with global climate tech company IES, is a brand-new add-on designed to seamlessly integrate real-time rendering with building performance metrics. It empowers you to optimise building performance and sustainability directly within your workflow to enhance your creative vision.
Key features of Enscape Impact building performance software.
Enscape Impact offers the following features for a seamless, intuitive experience:
Fast energy modeling simulation
Quickly calculate and evaluate key metrics as you design. See the data manifested within the render, making it easier to comprehend and communicate the impact of design decisions.
Integrated workflow
Perform analysis directly within your workflow to determine the energy efficiency and sustainability of designs early in the process. Enscape Impact directly integrates with most CAD software, allowing you to maintain creative flow without interruption.
Minimal data entry
Establish a baseline analysis with only a few data points, including location and building type, to access fast and actionable insights.
Dials panel
Showcase the energy performance of your building design with easy-to-read charts and diagrams that intuitively display how geometry adjustments impact performance. Comprehensive tooltips provide easy-to-understand guidance for beginners in building performance concepts.
One Unified Workflow
Benefits of using Enscape Impact
Easy Integration
Enscape Impact’s shallow learning curve lets you run dynamic building perfomance simulations effortlessly – no extensive training needed.
Enhanced communication
Designed to help architects and engineers communicate effectively, ensuring designs are both sustainable and more efficient.
Data-driven decision making
Fast energy analysis reveals building performance impacts instantly, accelerating decision-making.
Reports the highest level of energy consumption by heating and cooling systems that analysis suggests will be experienced in this project each year.
Total Carbon Emission
Carbon dioxide emission resulting from various buildings activities, particularly related to energy consumption. High CO2 levels contribute to climate change and are a key focus in sustainability efforts.
Energy Use Intensity
This metric that quantifies a building’s energy consumption per unit area (e.g. per square meter). It helps assess a building’s efficiency and compare it to industry benchmarks. A lower EUI indicates better energy efficiency.
