Version 6 of the <Virtual Environment> - the game changer!!
Posted: August 10, 2009 by Don, Category:Sustainability, software
Based upon my experience and the comments of a number of our more experienced customers I believe Version 6 is about to revolutionise the way performance assessment is conducted as part of the sustainable design process.Â
For IES this is a seminal moment, so you’ll have to excuse us for blowing our own bagpipes! In the future, I believe, IES staff, and many of our users, will refer back to Version 6 as the start of a major breakthrough in climate change mitigation. So what’s so special you might you ask?Â
I’ve been out in the field (some of you may have seen my Tweets) over the last two months performing a large number of demos across the globe. In the last eight weeks I have demoed Version 6 in the US, UK, UAE, Hong Kong and Australia. In total 59 demos and 4 seminars!
When comparing notes with my colleagues (who’ve also been busy demoing V6 throughout the world), the common response has been: Wow! V6 is really impressive!
We’ve received comments such as: ‘This is important for the whole Middle East region’, ‘VE-Gaia is brilliant it will change the way we can do sustainable design – when can we get it’, ‘This ticks all the boxes’, ‘We wanted about 10 new features and you showed them all and more – Multiplexing is brilliant.’
Current and potential VE users clearly see the commercial benefits of Version 6 in terms of marketing differentiation, technical advantage and productivity. These are all important considerations, particularly in today’s economic climate.
The stage is set – all indications are that V6 will positively impact on Architects, Engineers and Clients throughout the world. This impact will hopefully be such that words like VE-Gaia; Multiplexing and Workflow Navigators will become common terminology in the construction industry in a relatively short timescale. Is this big headed? Perhaps so, or perhaps not… job ads here in the UK already refer to ‘VE Engineers’ and ‘IES experience required’!
If you’ve not seen Version 6 yet then have a look at our website and press releases to find out more. Or register online for a web demo or free trial.
