There are various sketchup energy analysis plugins which can be used to produce improved sustainable designs as well as analyze model in an efficient manner. Besides, obtain an energy rating as you design, or transform the design files into Energy Plus IDF files so that the third party participants can assess them easily.

The paid plugins will facilitate the users to add different energy systems into their design like air conditioning, heating, solar power, energy supply, and even lighting systems and as well as visualize energy efficient designs.

The users can also implant photovoltaic modules, replicate modules, select environment scenarios, add various energy devices like inverters and generators, modify and edit the size of collectors to compare with energy requirements, and also calculate complete energy produced automatically.
