GRAPHISOFT has received the Environmental Product of the Year award for its EcoDesigner product at the annual Construction Computing Magazine awards held in London on November 19. Known as “THE HAMMERS,” the awards are now in their fourth year and are widely regarded as the industry’s leading accolade. This year, over 7,500 votes in 21 categories were received from the readers of Construction Computing Magazine.

GRAPHISOFT EcoDesigner enables architects to efficiently evaluate, even at the very early stages of design, alternatives based on energy consumption, carbon footprint and monthly energy balance. “We are pleased and proud to receive such a prestigious award,” said Akos Pfemeter, GRAPHISOFT’s Director of Global Marketing. “Architects appreciate the value of developing a truly green design and of being able to do this with the minimum of effort. This award recognizes that architects can make the right ‘green’ decisions early on and, as a result, save their clients real money, now and in the future.”
