Users could evaluate the impact of window glazing (single, double, or triple), gas fills (Air vs. Argon), and orientations on a building's overall thermal performance. Research conducted using ArchiCAD 14 demonstrated how window-to-floor ratios significantly affect energy demand in various climates. 4. Key Productivity Enhancements

ArchiCAD 14 emphasized integration with other disciplines. It introduced refined model mapping

Parametric design was not native. Architects used ArchiCAD 14 purely for documentation. Organic shapes usually involved exporting a 3D DWG to Rhino 4.0, modeling there, and importing back as a "Morph" (though Morphs in v14 were basic compared to today).
