Does ArchiCAD 13 calculate energy rating?
Does ArchiCAD 13 calculate energy rating for buildings as the newer versions do? I am trying to calculate the energy rating (EPC) for a small building, new construction, and I am wondering if there are any plug-in to do this job.

EcoDesigner STAR is soon likely to be listed as one of the accredited DSM software in UK alongside IES and Tas Engineering. Only then you will be able to produce Official E... 1 More Answer

Is there a way to link your updated Revit models with my local Revit desktop platform
Is there a way to link your updated Revit family models with my local Revit library on my PC.
Currently Autodesk Revit does have any native way to pull in updated Revit families. There a few third party plugins, but I haven't come across any that work really well. Most of our users find the direct downloads to Dropbox or Box.com work well as a simple way of keeping their company wide libraries up to date.

Facade Designing
Where can one learn to work hand on in facade design, some firm or masters? Do you really like some facade design firms? What do you look at when you see a facade, color or the tech?
Every major engineering firm has facades groups - TT, Arup, BuroHappold, Schlaich and so on. Then there are specialized firms like Heintges, IBA, Front Inc and the like. I believe there is also a school in Augsburg that offers a facade engineering master degree. 1 More Answer

Rule(s) about buying BIM software?
In general what is/are the rule(s) about buying BIM software from certain companies or resellers over others.
For example Revit (or AutoCAD products) is available through several resellers, but to me the resellers job here is not just offering the product (hopefully at a good price!) but assisting product usage, so if you take this view, the reseller is very important as each I think will offer you different levels and kinds of service.
