- Direct Software Output
What was successful and/or unique about the graphic in how it communicates information?
This graphics are unique because they are native output of our new Sketchbox concept design tool. The results are presented measure-by-measure and quickly show designers which strategies have the greatest impact on energy performance. No post processing is required and the results can dynamically change to show a variety of output metrics like energy cost, EUI, CO2, etc.
Is there anything else you would like to mention?
Slipstream is a non-profit organization with a mission to accelerate climate solutions for everyone. To help with this, we developed this "shoebox" modeling tool called Sketchbox. Sketchbox is a web-based tool that assembles and runs DOE2 models in the cloud from any web-connected device. It is optimized for concept design and includes reliable code baseline values and defaults.
