IES releases Revit 2011 plug-in for the analysis of environmental performance

An updated version of IES’s VE plug-in to Autodesk Revit Architecture and MEP enables users of Revit 2011 to easily export models into any of the IES Virtual Environment analysis tools for environmental building performance — VE-Ware, VE-Toolkits, VE-Gaia and VE-Pro. By removing the need to rebuild models, this plug-in greatly enhances design workflow and simulation accuracy — bringing comprehensive and integrated analysis options for all design stages to the building-information-modelling (BIM) process.

This VE plug-in now supports Revit 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
