1 SECTOR: SOFTWARE DATE: MARCH 2015 COUNTRY: SOUTH AFRICA IESVE SPECIAL OFFERS FOR SOUTH AFRICA

2 IESVE SPECIAL OFFERS FOR SOUTH AFRICA Used by leading sustainable design experts around the globe our Virtual Environment software can virtually test the feasibility of different energy saving strategies and new technologies. We have created exclusive special offer packages for the launch of our software into the South Africa region. Each package is tailored to suit different needs and requirements, so you can choose the package that will suit you best. All Engineers packages have been designed to give you the ability to analyse Capital Cost and Lifecycle Costs. Each package has optional add-on modules and comes with a selection of relevant distance learning modules to ensure you can get the best out of your software. PACKAGES AVAILABLE: ARCHITECTS PACKAGE Cost: R10,500 Use our revolutionary VE-Gaia tool (inc ModelIT) a complete architectural analysis, iteration and reporting environment driven by step-by-step smart workflow guidance. Designers are guided through a range of tasks; from advanced modeling, to bio-climatic interrogation, to other key early design stage metrics. Gaia generates climate and site-based design recommendations to improve the thermal, lighting and ventilation performance of the proposal. Simulation output includes graphic analysis suitable for inclusion in client reports. BASIC LIGHT & THERMAL Cost: R14,000 This package enables the assessment of both daylighting and electrical lighting and also looks at the thermal performance of the building. BASIC HVAC Cost: R21,500 This package allows you to model custom HVAC solutions, solar shading, and thermal performance. EXPERT Cost: R52,500 A suite of modules for detailed assessment of the cross-disciplinary aspects of building thermal performance, occupant comfort and energy analysis: incorporating daylighting, solar shading and electrical lighting; HVAC and internal loads, and CFD airflow analysis. COMPREHENSIVE Cost: R80,000 A fully comprehensive suite for design and analysis of building energy and thermal performance. All variables can be adjusted to see their impact on other aspects. Note All prices quoted are for a stand-alone, annual licence, Packages are exclusive to South Africa
