BFA Building Performance Analysis

Looking for BFA tools recommendations with experience in using Building Performance Analysis with Sketchup. Mostly in the category of HVAC. thanks

You could check out Sefaira - Energy Efficient Design Software | Green Design | Sefaira | SketchUp

or Archiwizard - ArchiWIZARD - Extension | GRAITEC

Thank you, Sefaira seems to be the only recommendation so far.

Yr welcome :pray:

To Paddy,
I see that youre working with windows 11. I have not upgraded but was curious about your take on how sketcup is responding. Peace, Billy

Hi, well Windows 11 isn’t an issue, it’s more that SU 24 is much more buggy than previous iterations. The most recent update is getting there, but the “new” graphics engine seems to cause issues that are taking a while to be ironed out…
Hopefully before v25 those will all be sorted.

Kind regards,
PT

Thanks again, I noticed this also with SU 24 and wondered about using Windows 11. It is good to wait on new versions but it is not easily done with SU
