Architecture Tools & Professional Resources

Explore 98 professional resources for drawing, BIM, simulation, materials and spatial analysis.

External professional resources complement GAD’s three calculators. The uses below are supported by publisher documentation, rather than GAD product tests. Access conditions, prices and suitability should be checked with each provider.

WINDOW

Envelope

Calculate fenestration properties from documented glazing and assembly information. The resource supports a technical window study rather than a visual choice alone. Match input data to the proposed product and retain the calculation assumptions before passing values into a whole-building performance model.

Where it fits

Prepare consistent fenestration inputs for a building model.

WUFI

Moisture

Investigate heat and moisture transport through building components. The resource is valuable when a detail's moisture behavior needs more than a static thermal value. Document material properties and exposure conditions, and inspect sensitivity to uncertain inputs before concluding that an assembly is suitable.

Where it fits

Study a proposed envelope assembly under defined moisture conditions.
