Digital Tutors - Energy Simulation in Revit

Course Details

Run Time: 14m 30s  

Release Date: December 2, 2013  

Author: Pierre Derenoncourt  

Required Software: Revit 2014  

In this tutorial you'll learn to run and energy simulation using Revit 2014. We'll begin with a simple massing concept with floors that have already been massed in place. From there, we'll set a few parameters associated with our building and site like location and target glazing percentage. Once, we've defined our project and location, we'll then run an energy simulation to understand our designs potential carbon footprint as well as our annual and life cycle energy consumption costs. These tools used early in the design process can get your concept on the path to sustainability with ease.
