Differences between Sefaira and Simergy interfaces

Thank you !!

Solution

Sefaira

Sefaira allows architects to focus on building performance from the beginning of the design process and to use performance feedback to influence their design, as opposed to evaluating the performance of the final design at the end of the process.

Sefaira can directly analyze SketchUp and Revit files, plugging seamlessly into popular workflows. Architects can begin an analysis by specifying only two additional inputs: space use and location. Other parameters are set to standard values, which can be manually overridden by the user at any time. No specific expertise is required. Sefaira provides training for new users as part of the subscription.

Sefaira analysis includes:

Sefaira leverages two engines for different types of analyses. Sefaira’s proprietary implementation based on ASHRAE’s Radiant Time Series method is used for energy calculations. The second engine is EnergyPlus is used for thermal comfort calculations.

Simergy

Simergy is a free comprehensive graphical user interface for EnergyPlus. Funded by a public-private partnership and designed with input from architects and engineers, Simergy has a full set of features that support rapid model construction along with deep energy analysis. Simergy’s main feature groups include:

Simergy is available for the Windows operating system and currently supports EnergyPlus V7.2.
