3D Modeling Software

Integrated Technology
The images at left and above illustrate the use and
integration of multiple appropriate technologies
on the roof and side structural system. The
design includes solar thermal, photovoltaics,
light shelves, external shading devices and a
green roof. 3D modeling software allows one to
appropriately analyze the structural systems, spatial
arrangements, and daylighting exposures.
