Description
Mechanical designers face challenges in a project's early stages. They need precise answers with limited information while navigating numerous changes. Revit software offers comprehensive tools for effective massing and systems analysis. This interactive lab will enhance Revit proficiency, focusing on agile workflows for shell and core geometry aligned with EnergyPlus requirements. Attendees will learn to create massing models using the Revit drafting tools, and incorporate details like curtain walls and windows. They'll explore the systems analysis UI, integrate EnergyPlus for insights, and navigate analytical energy model data. This course will teach mechanical designers and engineers how to use Revit effectively in schematic design phases. Attendees will learn to adapt to digital transformation, address stakeholder inquiries, and collaborate effectively. By the end of the course, participants will bridge the gap between early project uncertainty and efficient design strategies.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to master Revit drafting to create efficient mass models ideal for energy modeling in early project phases.
- Discover how to use Energy Plus with Revit for insightful analysis.
- Learn how to navigate Revit for energy model data interpretation with schedules and views.
