Project in Green Building Studio

Explains the concept of Green Building Studio Project.

Green Building Studio uses the concept of a Project as a starting point for the simulation and analysis of your model. The project defines the building type , project operation schedule and the project location.

When using gbXML files for energy simulation, before submitting any models to Green Building Studio you must first Create a Green Building Studio Project. When you are using building elements in Autodesk Revit or conceptual masses in Revit or Vasari for energy simulation and creating a new project, this information is collected from your model automatically.

Note: When using existing project while you are doing energy analysis in Revit/Vasarithe building type and location of your Green Building Studio Project overrides any building type and location information that is present in your model.

For most project locations, Green Building Studio provides default utility rates, but you may change these rates. For existing building projects, you can upload utility billing data sets. Currencies are also assigned through the Project.

You can add projects to a dashboard, and you can apply filters to see only projects that meet specified criteria.
