Export to gbXML Using Energy Settings

After using Revit to create an energy analytical model, you can export the model to gbXML and use other software to perform further analysis.

  1. Open a 3D view of the model.
  2. Create an energy analytical model.
  3. Click File tab Export(gbXML).
  4. In the Create Analytical Spaces dialog, select the elements/mode you want to use to create the analytical spaces.
    • Use building elements: Creates analytical spaces and surfaces from building elements.
    • Use rooms/spaces elements: Creates analytical spaces and surfaces from room/space volumes.
    • Use conceptual masses: Creates analytical spaces and surfaces from conceptual masses.
    • Use conceptual masses and building elements: Creates analytical spaces and surfaces from conceptual masses and building elements.
  5. In the Export gbXML - Save to Target Folder dialog, navigate to the desired location for the exported file, specify a file name, and click Save.

Revit exports the energy analytical model to a gbXML file in the specified location.
