Revit Building Performance Analysis Green Paper Released

[kyle.bernhardt]

Revit MEPers,
I wanted to let you know that we have just posted (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=9587284) a "Green Paper" that was put together by the Revit MEP Product Team in conjunction with the IES <Virtual Environment> team.

This Green Paper is the first in a series of papers exploring the usage of the Revit platform to facilitate faster, more accurate Building Performance Analysis (BPA). This paper covers the conceptual process of converting your Physical Revit Model to an Analytical Model for BPA, as well as the best practices for constructing the Physical Model in Revit for proper transfer to BPA applications. We hope that you find it useful as you start to integrate Revit MEP into your BPA workflows. I think it's "required reading" for anybody who's looking to leverage their Building Model for BPA.

This will be a living document, as we will update it as things change in the future. I'll be sure to let everyone know if we post an update.

Please direct any questions to me, and enjoy!

Cheers,
Kyle B
