Sefaira plans to roll-out the new tools in 2015, which will use the EnergyPlus engine and provide real-time design analysis of mechanical systems and envelope options.

"With Sefaira’s newest application, architects and engineers will be able to use the same architectural models to get accurate, real-time feedback."

By reading architectural models, the application eliminates the need for engineers to rebuild models from scratch and supports working proactively with architects, helping them understand the impact of design changes and key mechanical system parameters.

Sefaira product director Andrew Corney said: "Historically, early collaboration between architects and engineers has been hampered by technical barriers.
