Overview

AX3000, developed by ESS in collaboration with ALLPLAN, is a powerful tool for energy-efficient construction planning. It provides comprehensive solutions for temperature simulation and virtual reality project presentations, making it an essential add-on for the ALLPLAN BIM platform. AX3000 helps architects, engineers, and planners to simulate the thermal behavior of buildings and visualize projects in a virtual environment before construction begins.

Features

Temperature Simulation:

• Thermal Behavior Simulation: Simulates the thermal behavior of a building based on hourly worldwide weather data.
• Zone and System Definitions: Automatically uses definitions from the energy certificate for accurate simulations.
• Detailed Usage Profiles: Provides detailed usage profiles and location-specific climatic data for precise results.
• Heating and Cooling Load Cycles: Determines temperature, cooling, and heating load cycles by space or zone. Virtual Reality:
• Realistic Project Presentations: Generates realistic spatial and creative impressions of building projects.
• Future-Oriented Technology: Uses advanced VR technology to visualize buildings before construction.
• BIMPLUS Integration: Requires a digital building model on the BIMPLUS platform and an OCULUS Rift® VR lens.
• Interactive Visualization: Allows movement in the building via keyboard or gamepad, and simulates different environmental scenarios.
• Sun's Course Simulation: Simulates the sun's course and adapts textures for realistic visualization.

Benefits

• Energy Efficiency: Enhances energy-efficient construction planning with accurate temperature simulations.
• Improved Decision Making: Provides realistic visualizations to help stakeholders make informed decisions.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Facilitates better communication and collaboration among project teams.
• Cost Savings: Identifies potential issues early in the design phase, reducing costly changes during construction.
• Innovative Technology: Leverages advanced VR and simulation technologies for cutting-edge project presentations.
• Global Applicability: Uses worldwide weather data and location-specific climatic information for accurate simulations.
