ECOTECT users wanted

[Laci Neda]

I would be interested to find out if there are ArchiCAD users that also use ECOTECT ( a complete environmental design tool from SQUARE ONE http://www.squ1.com/site.html ).

Many thanks,

Andy,

The add-on to generate gbXML is provided by Green Building Studio, Inc. for free to registered users. We are updating the add-on for Mactel right now and that should be out by the end of the year.

eQuest has been submitted to the California Energy Commission for 2005 T24 approval (it already has 2001 T24 approval), and it appears it may be on their agenda for Q1 of next year.

Is the plugin to generate the gbXML a freebie, or something that comes with the purchase of a seat of Ecotect? We are very interested in this development, but have not had our emails to square one replied to yet....

Also, does anyone know whether eQuest is a Title24 compliant design tool yet? I know they were working on this...

Thanks in advance!

We have been trying to export from AC10 using this plugin but are really struggling to make it work. when we import the data into Ecotect 5.5 the model is far in the distance and very hard to control.
Is there any kind of user guide that talks you through the export and import process?
