Create, Review, and Revise the Analytical Model

After you have created system-zones and assigned zone equipment, generate the analytical spaces and revise the analytical model as needed.

A separate energy model consisting of surfaces and volumes is created directly from your design model. When you create the energy model, analytical spaces are automatically assigned to zone equipment. Energy settings give you control over different factors to consider as you create the energy model.


Understand the basics behind the creation of the energy model and assigning analytical space to zone equipment.

Create the Energy Analytical Model

Set basic energy settings to control the rationalization of the energy model. In most cases basic energy settings are enough to return acceptable results for an energy analysis.

Energy Settings

Set advanced energy settings when your analysis requires specific controls.

Advanced Energy Settings

Watch a video and learn how energy settings affect the rationalization of the energy model.
