Building analysis software

Building analysis software is software used to measure the performance of buildings. The software allows the screening of existing buildings or concept buildings on several parameters, such as thermal efficiency, energy usage, ... Unlike CAD Editors for Computer Aided Engineering however, the programs are only designed to generate an analysis, and not to design the buildings themselves.
