EcoDesigner - general

Anonymous

Anybody with positive experiences yet?

A simple tool that gives you building carbon emissions and energy balance is a great idea but if not exectured well it is very dangerous in architect's hands.

I wonder what are the the input assumptions and which standards/guides have been used in particular for output data/report. This is just to help me put the EcoDesigner in the context.

Thanks

Raul,

I'm also an ECO Designer dummy but, from what I saw, the 'building' volume is limited by project story settings (I mean the calculated volume stops to the last story "range").
Just try to modify the story height... it worked for me.

There is a very long thread already that discusses ED's accuracy and more... it would perhaps be better to read the info there and continue in that thread.

Thanks Karl,
I have found it already myself and read the whole discussion to date.
Also I second your suggestion to move this discussion over there.
