All of these runs are completed in the cloud in about the same amount of time it takes to do one manually! Green Building Studio tests a variety of building features automatically and provides straightforward guidance on which variations will have the largest impact on energy use.

Predictive Analytical Reporting Quickly Understand What Has the Most and Least Potential for Saving Energy A typical whole building energy analysis looks at over 50 variations of different parameter alternatives in a building, and that can take considerable time to conduct. That is why Green Building Studio adds defaults and assumptions based on your building type and location to complete the Energy Analytical Model. Sometimes, these variables are not known by the project team, hindering the creation of a valid and useful analysis. Whole Building Analysis Providing Guidance On What Really Drives Energy Cost Whole building energy analysis accounts for all of a building’s energy-using systems, and can give you reasonable energy cost projections to use for your design decisions and financial analyses. The analysis will also work if you already have room or space objects placed. No room or space object placement is required for this analysis as they are identified automatically - a huge productivity gain. It is now just as easy to run whole building performance analyses on Revit’s building element model as it is with Revit’s conceptual massing model. Detailed Model Simulation Pain-free Geometry Conversions New in Autodesk Revit 2014, Revit Energy Analysis now more seamlessly creates valid Energy Analytical Models from detailed architectural models, and includes the thermal properties of building elements.
