Revit Building Performance Analysis Green Paper Released

[kyle.bernhardt]

Revit Architecture Community,
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. If you missed the embedded link above, find it at http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=9587284.

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 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

OMG - There's another Kyle? :lol:

Would love to get my hands on this and review it. Is there a link? I didn't see one in your post.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a link? I didn't see one in your post.
It's there, you just have to look harder... think of it as a game like "Where's Waldo?"

Kyle - this is great. I've got a copy of IES, but haven't had a chance to look at it. I remember the days of DOE2, and what a pain it was to use - not really manageable for most projects. We're a small shop, but it's almost worth buying a copy of Revit MEP just for this!

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am trying to find that document in this link (https://www.buildinggreen.com/knowledge-base). I can't find it. It would be great if somebody knows the new location.

Paul
