Since some people seemed interested about this information in my last post, I thought I would post a more full list of tools and where to get them:
software for environmental engagement research and analysis:
sun path diagrams-wind roses-other climatic info:
http://squ1.com/weathertool
Thorough and easy to use design and energy analysis software:
http://squ1.com/ecotect
ALL it can do: http://squ1.com/ecotect/features
Specific analysis of solar strategies (it tells you if your overhang is big enough, etc...)
http://squ1.com/solartool
EPA Target Finder (gives you a target for energy reduction based on building program and region)
http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=new_bldg_design.bus_target_finder
embodied energy (although I have to admit I am confused on how to use it)
http://www.bfrl.nist.gov/oae/software/bees.html
a graph showing average temperature, relative humidity, direct solar radiation, and diffuse solar radiation as a function of the time of day:
These tools may not be applicable to every project, everytime (specially in studio), but are probably good to know.
