Autodesk Labs has released Technology Preview 2.1 of Project Vasari -- their free conceptual design and analysis tool for buildings -- and you can download it here.

In this webcast, the presenters will discuss energy simulation workflows and why students need to be aware of the tools available. Attendees will learn more about Autodesk® Project Vasari, an easy-to-use, expressive design tool for creating building concepts. Project Vasari is focused on conceptual building design using both geometric and parametric modeling. It supports performance-based design via integrated energy modeling and analysis features. They will also discuss passive thermal analysis and other tools available to accomplish sustainable design goals.
