Energy3D

Energy3D presents an easy-to-use 3D user interface for designing and analyzing model green buildings. Students can quickly sketch up a house, a building, or even a village. They can then analyze solar heating of their structures using a helidon that can dynamically generate radiation heat maps. Energy3D allows students to "print out" a design, cut out the pieces, and use them to Assemble a physical model. Energy3D is developed for children of age 6-18 and can be used in math, engineering, or physical science classes.
