Create or delete a complete energy analytical model to be used in energy analysis.
Transcript

To create a complete energy analytical model, the building elements must be reasonably enclosed,
00:09
and the analytical space and surface resolutions must be adjusted to suit the level of model detail.
00:15
Once you have finished configuring the energy settings for your model,
00:19
from the ribbon, Analyze tab, Energy Optimization panel, select Create Energy Model.
00:26
A warning dialog appears.
00:29
Energy analytical model creation typically requires only a few seconds or minutes.
00:35
However, the process can be considerably longer for very large and detailed models.
00:41
During this process, Revit is not available to perform other work.
00:46
Select Create the Energy Analytical Model to proceed.
00:50
Another warning dialog might display.
00:53
In this case, the warning indicates that some linked models are not set as Room Bounding.
00:59
This is important because the energy analytical model creation process
01:03
uses all architectural elements in the model that are room-bounding.
01:08
If your Revit model contains building elements that are outside the main building,
01:13
such as floors that may be used to represent paths or roads,
01:17
be sure to disable the Room Bounding properties of those elements
01:20
so that they are excluded from the analysis.
01:23
When your model is ready, click to continue.
01:26
After some time, the energy analytical model is generated.
01:31
Be aware that the energy analytical model does not regenerate with the architectural model.
01:37
After you create the energy analytical model in the project, you can delete it.
01:42
To do so, from the Analyze tab, Energy Optimization panel, select Delete Energy Model.
01:49
This removes the existing energy analytical model.
01:53
When you select Create Energy Model again, a new energy analytical model is created.
