i've been looking at this, and has anyone succesfully exported a model from Revit to <VE> and produced a Thermal Compliance report (SAP) ?

I've had a go but im struggling on setting the materials, the roof mainly.

Hi... sorry - I've just signed up to this forum so that's why I've not been able to respond until now.

What exactly is the problem you are having with the VE Compliance module?
Once you are inside the full VE you can set your own roof materials and assign room activities etc.

If it's a case of failing the Criterion 2 U Value check then I'd suspect that the problem would be that your roof is unheated and thus dropped from the notional thermal envelope resulting in the lower floor's ceiling having insufficient insulation - there's an FAQ on that in the support area.
