IES VE-Gaia new sustainable design capabilities include analysis for energy/carbon, daylighting, solar shading, and renewable energy feasibility
Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES), a manufacturer of performance analysis software for sustainable design, released at this year's Greenbuild new design capabilities for its Architectural VE-Gaia software. The new capabilities of the sustainable design software include sustainable design analysis for energy/carbon, daylighting, solar shading, and renewable energy feasibility.
VE-Gaia, available for both PCs and Macs, is an easy-to-use workflow system which guides users step-by-step through model setup, data assignment, workflow iterations, simulations, filtering of results and production of visual and rich-text reports. The VE-Gaia performance analysis software is ideal for those without expert building simulation knowledge and experience, providing the perfect entry level to key sustainable design and analysis functions. Check out the buildaroo interview video below.
Within VE-Gaia, users can input and manipulate building data, allowing progression from early ballpark comparisons into more detailed calculations. Additionally, the IES’ VE-Gaia performance analysis software has plug-in connectivity to SketchUp, Revit, and ArchiCAD, plus gbXML and DXF import capabilities - allowing for quick model import and iteration at all stages of the green building design process.
The IES VE-Gaia now provides in-depth sustainable design analysis across the following:
• AIA 2030 Challenge
• Climate Interrogation/Bio-Climatic design
• Energy Use/Carbon Emissions
• Peak Building Loads
• Low/Zero Carbon Technology Feasibility
• Solar Shading/Daylight
• Natural Resources/Water
• Building Metrics/Materials Review
“With this upgrade to VE-Gaia, we are providing the most functionality seen in today’s market at this price point,” said Don McLean, Founder and CEO of IES. “We are especially excited to bring to market this one of a kind “guided analysis” which includes both increased efficiency and accuracy – ideally suited for architects working in the early to middle stages of the design process.”
The price for a stand alone license of the IES VE-Gaia sustainable design analysis software is £600 ($1000), and £780 ($1300) for the VE-Gaia + ModelIT (optional module for 3D geometry creation within VE-Gaia), with rolling and site licence options also available.

[...] So what did we get up to last year? Well with all the noise we’ve been making recently I’d sincerely hope you didn’t miss the launch of our ASHRAE 90.1 VE-Navigator solution which is designed to speed up and make LEED Energy Modeling easy. Also, not to leave out the Architectural market, we doubled the analysis capabilities of our VE-Gaia early stage analysis tool and announced a partnership with Trelligence to incorporate IESVE analysis into their Affinity programming and schematic design tool. Phew we’ve been busy!! You can see Don our founder and CEO being video interviewed about this online at Buildaroo. [...]
