Use conceptual mass or building elements in Autodesk® Revit® to perform whole building energy simulation in the cloud with Autodesk® Green Building Studio®.
Create conceptual masses, enable mass floors, define energy settings (especially location and building type) and submit an energy simulation to the Autodesk Green Building Studio web service. When an alert appears the simulation is complete and ready for viewing. You can also display multiple simulation results for side-by-side comparisons. Use simulation results to understand building energy use to move your project towards sustainable design.
Energy Analysis for Autodesk® Revit® using conceptual masses is intended to provide insight into the role of building form (size, shape, orientation, glazing percentages, shading) and materials on potential building energy use from the earliest stages of the design process.
Create building elements i.e. walls, roofs, floors, windows etc. (room/space elements are optional), define energy settings (especially location and building type) and submit a whole building energy simulation to the Autodesk Green Building Studio web service.
When an alert appears the simulation is complete and ready for viewing. You can also display multiple simulation results for side-by-side comparisons. Use simulation results to understand building energy use to move your project towards a more sustainable design simulation.
Energy Analysis for Autodesk® Revit® using building elements is intended to provide insight into potential building energy use given more detailed information typically available at later stages in the design process.
The energy analytical model created from building elements can also be exported to 3rd party applications for further analysis in a variety of common formats; gbXML, DOE2 and EnergyPlus.
To perform Energy Analysis for Autodesk® Revit®, ensure that the Analyze tab is enabled. To use conceptual masses for Energy Analysis ensure that the Massing & Site tabs are enabled.
