The Sketchup Show #51: IES VE SketchUp plugin for Energy Analysis (Part 1)

For designers looking to create more sustainable buildings and homes, the folks at IES (http://iesve.com) have come up with a plugin for Google SketchUp that can run an energy analysis within a SketchUp model. And the plugin is completely free! Join Mike in Part 1 of this 2-part series as he runs an energy analysis on a massing model using the IES plugin for SketchUp.

Sokka, the modeling and simulation for tornado's and hurricanes is very difficult, as the dynamics of wind is not that straight forward. There are several universities that have been working on this for years.
