IES VE AI

About IES VE AI

IES Virtual Environment (VE) is the most comprehensive and accurate building performance simulation platform available, widely accepted by planning authorities, certification bodies, and building control for regulatory submissions. The AI enhancements in recent versions automate the most time-consuming steps: IFC import with automatic zone creation, thermal property assignment from element materials, occupancy schedule generation from building type. The parametric optimization module runs thousands of simulation combinations automatically to find the design variant that hits target EUI or carbon within cost constraints — a process that previously required days of manual simulation runs. For complex projects with high sustainability targets or where regulatory simulation evidence is required, IES VE remains the reference tool.
