Built-in duct, plumbing, and electrical sizing tools operate on the CAD model to assist with system design for maximum efficiency and to more accurately predict the performance of building systems. Export to gbXML (green building extensible markup language) and API (application programming interface) links enable you to use industry-standard tools such as Trane Trace and Elite to further optimize building designs for energy analysis, lifecycle cost, and other types of building performance analysis. API links to EC-CAD fabrication capabilities help to reduce construction waste.
