About Green Building Studio and Energy Analysis

Autodesk Green Building Studio is the analysis engine used by Energy Analysis for Autodesk® Revit®.

When you use a Revit model as the basis for energy analysis, the energy analytical model is packaged in a gbXML file and sent to Autodesk Green Building Studio for analysis.

Note: Access to Green Building Studio is free to Autodesk Subscription customers.

You can use Revit to define many settings used in the energy analysis. You can also use Revit to view the energy model and the analysis results.

For greater control, you can use Green Building Studio to define settings and to view the results. Read the following topics to learn more.
