Create an energy analytical model using Rooms or Spaces.
Transcript
00:04
You can use rooms or spaces when creating the energy analytical model to provide a high level of detail in the analysis.
00:11
This method uses volumes defined in the building model based on rooms or spaces in the model.
00:17
These volumes may not be as accurate as those created using energy settings.
00:23
But, before you use this method, rooms or spaces must have been added to the model.
00:28
With a model open, in the Analyze tab, Energy Optimization panel, select Energy Settings.
00:36
Then, in the dialog, set the Mode to Use Rooms or Spaces.
00:42
Then, open the Advanced Energy Settings dialog.
00:47
Under Other Options, click Edit.
00:50
In this example, the architectural model already contains spaces that reside within the analytical spaces of the energy model.
00:57
The Export Category setting determines whether room information or space information is used in the analysis.
01:04
When this parameter is set to Spaces, Revit uses the space object name and number, occupancy,
01:11
lighting, equipment, and zone information for analytical use.
01:17
When this is set to Rooms, Revit passes the Room object name and number to the corresponding Analytical Space name.
01:25
For now, leave the Export Category set to Spaces.
01:30
Next, from Material Thermal Properties, enable Detailed Elements.
01:35
Be aware that if you use this setting without ensuring the quality of material thermal property data in model elements,
01:42
then errors may be introduced to the model or the simulation could be destabilized.
01:47
This model does have the required materials and thermal properties, however.
01:52
When you are finished choosing your Advanced settings, click OK.
01:57
Back in the Energy Settings dialog, click OK again.
02:01
Now you can generate the energy analytical model.
02:05
From the Analyze tab, Energy Optimization panel, click Create Energy Model.
02:12
A warning dialog appears.
02:15
Click to confirm.
02:17
After it finishes loading, the analytical model opens in a new tab.
02:21
Before submitting the energy analytical model for analysis,
02:25
examine the views to make sure the model is well-defined and accurately reflects the design intent.
