About greenspaceLive

greenspaceLive™ was founded in 2008 and is a spinout from the Greenspace Research low carbon building and renewable energy research programme at Lews Castle College, University of the Highlands and Islands.

Our ethos at greenspaceLive™ is very simple - to help and encourage owners, occupiers, managers and designers of buildings reduce energy usage through cost-effective, targeted improvements to the fabric and equipment.

greenspaceLive™ employs recognised CIBSE Low Carbon Consultants, as well as being a member of the UK Green Building Council. We use a fresh approach to managing the carbon lifecycle of buildings and ensure that data is incorporated into the cloud, making it always accessible, and not kept as an isolated package of information. We deliver simple, dynamic tools which will assist in the data compilation, assessment, benchmarking and legislation associated with the energy consumption and carbon footprint of buildings. greenspaceLive™ has developed a web-based platform of tools for the creation, analysis and assessment of building models based around the gbXML interoperability standard, the de-facto industry standard for designing resource efficient buildings.

Our on-line products work together to provide an easy-to-use rapid workflow, allowing energy savings to be easily identified and investment appraisals undertaken.

gModeller is a plug-in for Google SketchUp, one of the easiest and most popular 3D modelling tools in the world. gModeller is the only SketchUp plug-in that imports and exports a gbXML file. gModeller was originally known as Demeter or LiveEnergy Modeller.

gEnergy is a building energy analysis software tool validated by UK CLG. gEnergy calculates the buildings asset rating and produces an Energy Performance Certificate and Recommendations Report. Unlike other energy software tools, gEnergy is cloud-based so that all building projects, analysis runs and energy performance certificates are stored in the cloud. By storing your analysis runs in the cloud, you can not only access them anywhere but you will always have your runs stored remotely meaning that computer upgrades or damage don't cause you to lose all your important project files and runs.

gWorkspace is a secure cloud based storage and building management system for your building portfolios. It allows you to store, access and view data anywhere with an internet connection, as well as share your building projects with your team. gWorkspace also provides an overview of your buildings gEnergy runs as well as performance improvements are applied and each solution is explored for investment appraisal.

greenspaceLive™ also offers training packages with accredited qualifications, available together with interactive webinar sessions on the use of our software tools.
