DesignBuilder是一款针对建筑能耗动态模拟程序（Energplus）开发的综合用户图形界面模拟软件。它可以应用在设计过程中的任何阶段，通过提供性能数据来优化设计和评估，甚至在设计初期整个设计还没确定时就可以开展。

DesignBuilder适用于建筑师、暖通工程师、能源顾问公司和大学等研究机构。

Designbuilder使用非常简便。通过其强大的功能，即使是非专业用户也可将复杂的建筑物迅速进行模型化。使用数据模板，通过从下拉列表中选择，可以载入一般性建筑结构、建筑物内部的人物活动、HVAC（Heating、Ventilating and Air Conitioning）及照明系统到你的模型。同样类型的建筑物可反复使用，还能添加到你的模板。此功能与数据库联动，可对建筑物及周边的区域进行变更，在设计、评估流程的阶段，可对各个建筑模型进行详细设定。

Features

DesignBuilder采用了易操作的OpenGL固体建模器。由此，在3D空间中配置「块」，通过拉伸、剪切可直观地进行建筑物模型的制作。可对建筑部件的厚度、房间的面积及体积进行可视化把握。此外，对模型的几 何学的形状和表面形状没有限制。

Designbuilder软件可以从ArchiCAD, Microstation, Revit以及其他支持gbxml格式的BIM软件中导入3-D模型。

使用数据模板，通过从下拉列表中选择，可以载入一般性建筑结构、建筑物内部的人物活动、HVAC（Heating、Ventilating and Air Conditioning.）及设计照明装置。同样类型的建筑物可反复使用，还能追加到模板。此功能与数据库连动，可对建筑物及其周边的区划追加大型变更，在设计、评价流程的阶段，可进行对各个建筑模型的个别详细设定。

模型编辑画面和环境性能数据可通过单击进行切换，无需外部模块的执行或数据载入即可对数据进行显示。

DesignBuilder is a state-of-the-art software tool for checking building energy, CO2, lighting and comfort performance. Developed to simplify the process of building simulation, DesignBuilder allows you to rapidly compare the function and performance of building designs and deliver results on time and on budget.

Features

DesignBuilder features an easy-to-use OpenGL solid modeller, which allows building models to be assembled by positioning, stretching and cutting 'blocks' in 3-D space. Realistic 3-D elements provide visual feedback of actual element thickness and room areas and volumes and there are no limitations on geometric form or surface shape.

You can import 3-D CAD models from ArchiCAD, Microstation, Revit and any other CAD software supporting the gbXML standard.

Data templates allow you to load common building constructions, activities, HVAC & lighting systems into your design by selecting from drop-down lists. You can also add your own templates if you often work on similar types of buildings. This, combined with data inheritance, allows global changes to be made at building, block or zone level. You can also control the level of detail in each building model allowing the tool to be used effectively at any stage of the design or evaluation process.

Switch between Model Edit View and Environmental performance data with a single click - data is displayed without the need to run external modules and import data; and any simulations required to generate the data are started automatically.
