Sustainable Architecture Guide Pro

Sustainable Architecture Guide Pro

A sustainable design reference and calculation toolkit for AutoCAD

Bring sustainable design research, preliminary calculations, and project notes into one organized AutoLISP and DCL workspace.

Created by Residential CAD Solutions, Sustainable Architecture Guide Pro helps architectural drafters, designers, and students explore design strategies, compare assumptions, and document early project decisions.

What’s included

• 40 design topics covering sustainable architecture, with 120 review prompts.
• Eight screening calculators: envelope heat loss, ventilation sensible heat, overhang shading, rainwater collection, fixture water use, lighting energy, solar PV generation, and embodied carbon.
• Metric and US customary inputs with clearly labeled fields.
• Named scenarios to save and revisit alternative design assumptions.
• Project workbooks for notes, review progress, calculator inputs, and saved scenarios.
• Text reports and drawing annotations to support project documentation.
• Search, category filters, and favorites for quick access to reference topics.

Your download includes

AutoLISP source files, DCL dialog files, an installation guide, calculator references, an offline design guide, a sample project, and interface previews.

Compatibility and scope

Designed for full Windows AutoCAD 2002 and later with AutoLISP, Visual LISP/ActiveX, and DCL support. Actual AutoCAD runtime testing and release-by-release compatibility verification have not been completed. AutoCAD LT, Mac, and Web compatibility is not claimed.

Calculations provide preliminary estimates based on your inputs. This toolkit does not replace professional engineering, energy simulation, code review, or sustainability certification. Core tools work offline; opening external reference links requires internet access.
