Description
Energy and daylighting analysis with Insight software provide designers with the ability to analyze the performance of their designs, leading to more-efficient buildings and sustainable practices. In this session, we’ll explain how these tools are used and illustrate how one nonprofit firm is using this technology to design energy-efficient health centers in Haiti, Peru, and West Africa. This session will demonstrate how attendees can perform their own building-performance analysis using Revit software and Insight. We’ll present case studies where energy and daylighting analysis were used to design more-sustainable buildings and reduce operating costs for health-care centers in developing countries, where resources are limited and maximizing the environment is a necessity. Prior knowledge in Revit is helpful, but nonsoftware users will benefit from the information shared in this presentation.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to generate a conceptual-level Revit model suitable for running through Insight energy analysis
- Learn about the difference between input-based and output-driven design factors that impact energy analysis
- Discover the value of using analysis tools early in the design phase of a project
- Learn about how energy and daylighting analysis impacted recent projects, based on case studies

Clarke MorrisonAs a Senior AE Solutions Consultant, I work with our biggest clients on a strategic level, helping align business goals with design technology initiatives. I bring the industry-wide perspective from working with all types of design firms across the country, and act as an advisor for executive leadership and design technology leadership. Part of my role includes putting together strategies and scopes for design tech initiatives geared towards process improvement and new capabilities. A few specialty areas that I help clients with, are exploring ways to connect decarbonization goals with design technology (BIM) and pursuing state-funded grants for training.- LWLuc WingI am a solution specialist at Microdesk, recently I have found my self fascinated with energy modeling. It all began with my BPA certification and I was hooked. Since then I have made it my personal mission to promote sustainable solutions through the office and our city. We have taken this challenge head on and signed up with the 2030 initiative and became 1/170 reporting firms in 2016. We now run Energy analysis on every new construction project that goes through our doors!!! I believe with this effort we can dramatically reduce our carbon footprint, thus saving the world one model at a time.. Be an energy hero!!
