Written by Heather Johnson It’s a dilemma faced by architects and engineers when considering early-stage design analysis: which is more important– accuracy or precision? Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measurement to an actual or known value, while precision is related to variation between multiple measurements of the same element. Accuracy vs precision According…

Did you know that a subscription to Revit or the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection includes access to Insight, a powerful tool for energy performance analysis? Insight is a cloud-based simulation platform integrated with Revit that provides centralized access to performance data and advanced analysis engines. With Revit and Insight you can generate building performances analysis of energy,…
Tips, tricks & tutorials
You can conduct building performance analysis in Revit without building extra models, primarily by using Insight for energy modelling. This real-time feedback Insight provides is helpful for architects looking to understand whole building energy interactions and where efficiencies can be improved, whether through architecture, systems or operation of the building. But the value of energy…
