The project information (location and building definition) allows you to obtain more accurate heating and cooling information for your project.
| Specify project information. | Specify information for the project, including the client name, project name, number, and address. Revit uses weather information (based on the location for a project) to calculate heating and cooling loads. | |
| Specify energy analysis settings. | The building type defines the default construction materials and contributes to determining the heating and cooling requirements for spaces in the project. | |
| Specify area and volume settings. | Area and volume settings determine how volumes are calculated in the project. | |
| Verify spaces and zones. | Use the System Browser to verify zones and spaces. All spaces should be assigned to a zone that you created. The default zone should be empty. | |
| Check the analytical 3D model. | Launch the Heating and Cooling Loads dialog and examine the analytical model to check the boundaries for all the spaces in a 3D view. The analytical model can help you detect spaces that are not properly enclosed. | |
| Adjust zoneand space boundaries. | Modify boundaries and specifications for zones and spaces as needed. | |
| Verify the building type and specify information for individual spaces. | Verify the building type and modify the parameters for individual spaces, as necessary, in the project. |
The Heating and Cooling Loads analysis lets you determine heating and cooling requirements. You can adjust the model and rerun the analysis to determine the most efficient design.
