Energy modeling

[jeff.95551]

We've got a project that we want to get LEED certified - has anybody got any experience doing the energy analysis directly from a Revit model? I saw a thread a while back about some products that do this, but I can't remember the name or find the thread...

Any help would be useful.

Revit systems is setup ideally for internal energy analysis directly through green building studio and any other 3rd party program that accepts xml files...i use it with Trane Trace 700 often and it works well.

Revit buildings can export area data i believe but i have not tried it with the 3rd party programs

That's what I was looking for! I couldn't remember the name. Thanks, Scott! I looked up the Trane site, and it looks like a great product - I've got a call into my mech. engineer to see if he has it.
