Enscape Impact Overview

This page provides general information about Enscape Impact.

Overview

Enscape Impact is a component integrated into Enscape that analyzes building performance. It conducts real-time energy performance assessments during the early stages of design, helping enhance sustainability and efficiency. Enscape Impact seamlessly integrates with existing Enscape workflows, allowing users to conduct real-time energy performance assessments directly within the design environment. This integration ensures that sustainability considerations are embedded into the design process from the outset, enhancing both efficiency and environmental performance without disrupting established workflows.

Enscape Impact can be accessed from within the Enscape Viewport User Interface (UI) toolbar.
