25. AEC Software: VE-Pro
26. AEC Software: VE-Pro
27. AEC Software: VE-Pro 3 Year TSB Part funded Project
Integration of Cost and Environmental Impacts Concept and detailed
stage assessment BIM Integration BREEAM compliance
28. IMPACT - BIM Import your BIM for analysis or create from
scratch
29. IMPACT Navigation Workflows Navigators to aid the user in a
step by step procedure in determining the capital cost of your
building
30. Cost Plan Construction Database Pre-defined construction
types can be imported to your project
31. CostPlan Cost Templates Cost templates can be created from
scratch, or pre-defined cost templates can be imported to your
project. Concept templates operate solely on user GIFA value and
therefore can be used without a 3D model for early cost ideas.
Detailed templates use a mixture of GIFA and model quantities and
provide greater interaction with the model.

35. LifeCycle - Life Cycle Costing LCC (LifeCycle) is a module
which enables assessment of the total cost of ownership over the
life of a building. For a LCC analysis, the following building
operational and maintenance cost are calculated: Routine
maintenance cost Operational cost Construction cost o Fuel
Maintenance cost o Electricity o Major repair cost o Water o Minor
repair cost Occupancy cost o Reactive repair End of life cost cost
o Recycle cost o Decorate cost o Demolish cost o Replace cost o
Other end of life cost o Clean cost
36. LifeCycle Present Values
37. LifeCycle Category Pie
38. LifeCycle Annual Costs
39. LifeCycle Cumulative Costs
40. EnviroIMPACT - Life Cycle Analysis EnviroIMPACT (LCA)
enables users to evaluate the environmental impact associated with
assigned materials/products, for the chosen building. Production
Use Disposal Within the exists a wide range of BRE Green Guide
specifications and CMP material specification, so the user can
quickly re-assign and assess the IMPACT of chosen materials and
construction types.
41. EnviroIMPACT Constructions/Materials Creating layer by
layer constructions allow the user to include composite layers, for
example; concrete block with cement mortar whilst editing the
thickness, conductivity and density of each composite layer. Scheme
Concept Detailed Through the use of the , quantities take-offs are
automatically measured and extracted from materials assigned to the
model.
42. EnviroIMPACT Element Codes A wide range of Element Codes
can be selected, which automatically (once chosen) extracts useful
information from the 3D model, such as the area, thickness, volume,
perimeter, length etc for each of the assigned elements. Non
thermal elements can also be included in the LCA, as to allow the
user to take into account miscellaneous elements that haven't been
assigned to the model.
43. EnviroIMPACT BRE Ecopoints BRE methodology calculates the
following environmental impacts associated with construction and
materials from product stage through to disposal. Global Warming
Water Extraction Mineral Resource Extraction Depletion potential of
the stratospheric ozone layer Human Toxicity Ecotoxicity to
freshwater Waste Disposal Fossil Fuel Depletion Eutrophication
potential Formation potential of tropospheric ozone photochemical
oxidants Acidification potential of land and water sources

91. Golden Rules Keep it simple Is the geometry absolutely
necessary for the type of analysis I am running? Can I eliminate
anything? Detach from Central Purge whats not required file size
Clean out whats not relevant for analysis Use appropriate family
type for custom components Use lowest complexity setting for export
Dependant on stage of design Purpose of analysis Will speed up
analysis Once in the VE Run model check Set model to 0,0 (Revit
uses datum levels)
92. Area & Volume Computation Levels

Condition 4 Room separation lines Wall Condition 5 Protruding
partitions
95. Ceiling Plenums/Voids Include if analysis requires them If
model has been built to take account of them If not exclude or
model in VE Assess Time v Requirement
97. Import Enhancement New import settings gives the user
control. Whether or not to tidy Whether or not to include space
boundaries from columns Minimum space boundary area to be
considered for inclusion this allows small surfaces to be ignored
Maximum space boundary count for use in tidying
98. Import Enhancement What do they mean? Our Tidy Algorithms
have been improved Tidy will try and - close rooms - add/remove
vertices & edges - invert surfaces that come across incorrectly
The user can turn this on and off. Work has been done to improve
the algorithm to allow all rooms to import no matter what level of
quality the geometry is. The ability to excluded Columns without
having to manipulate the Revit model has been added. Space boundary
areas below any user-entered minimum area can be excluded Spaces
that have too many surfaces can be reduced/simplified on import to
a user defined level. Any spaces above a set level will be imported
untidied. New report gives details of the quality of the file being
imported before and after the VE attempts to fix the raw
geometry.
