Energy Analysis in Revit (Insight 360) w/Dan Stine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I will be joined by Dan Stine of Lake|Flato Architect's to talk about Energy Analysis in Revit.
Personally, I have not done an energy analysis of a Revit model since the "Green Building Studio" days and I am very excited to see how things have changed, the workflows, and the tools.
Dan is going to walk through some of the following topics...
- Brief primer on Lake|Flato's goals around building performance
- Introduction to Revit + Insight for early energy modeling
- Understand why you can trust the results
- The importance of baselines; ASHRAE 90.1, Architecture 2030 (Zero Tool)
- Learn how to interpret the results and act on them
- Best of all, see the workflow in action!!!
Sit back, relax, and let's geek out!

Thanks for watching " Energy Analysis in Revit (Insight 360) w/Dan Stine " !
JEFF AND THE TEAM ARE THE BEST. I SPEAK FOR ALL OF CANADA. YES I HAVE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY BEHIND ME. CHEERS.
I love my neighbors to the north! Oh Canada!
That Tip is actually awesome to use for everything!
Glad you think so!
The best explanation of energy analysis in Revit I have seen! Great demo and topic Jeff and Dan!
Thanks, Patrik... glad you liked it!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for tuning in!
JEFF, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR ALL OF US. NOT SCREAMING JUST DRAFTING......HENCE CAPS.
Haha, I read all caps just like no caps these days... I get it. Cheers!
Great stuff. Thank you Jeff and Dan!
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for tuning in!
thank you so much..finally i understood a bit about energy analysis
Cheers! Glad you learned from it!
love it! missed it live! great post, thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Thesla! Glad you liked it:)
Thanks for tuning in Thesla!
thank you !!
Cheers !!
Excellent walkthrough. Thanks Dan! Any thoughts on comparison to cove tool?
that was an amazing BBB tip from Beth - boss move Beth. That's huge
Yes it was! This audience is full of awesome tips! I love it!
Late to the party, but this has been super insightful and helpful! Thanks Jeff and Dan.
🤘
Sick tip
For real! Thanks for tuning in and thanks to Beth for sharing the tip!

Hello good time. I want to do energy analysis for one day per year in revit, how should I do it?
Also, for this purpose, I want to enter the ambient temperature manually, in which part should I do it?
I watched an older video (2017-2018 ish) and noticed that you could get heating and cooling loads in Insight too, however I haven't been able to find it, has that feature been removed in any recent update?
Thanks Jeff and Dan. I have a question: what is the role of Green Building Studio (GBS) in energy analysis. How GBS interacts with Insight.
They are one in the same... Sort of, from autodesk: "Green Building Studio is the back end engine for Insight360. Insight360 provides a sensitivity analysis and combined factors for high performance building design. You can use insight360 to have real time interaction with the design parameters and compare the performance with benchmarks." I am sure Dan has an even better explanation.
@@TheRevitKid Thanks Jeff
@@TheRevitKid Right... you can even open GBS and see all of your Insight runs. But we almost never need to do that.
If anyone may help me with Green Building Studio carbon emissions, as it is not showing any carbon emissions for any building type in any location.
Is Insight another Revit plugin? Analyze tab only shows Lighting and Solar on my Revit
The Revit side of Insight is built-in... on the Analyze tab, in the Energy Optimization panel (these groups of commands prep a model to push out to Insight).
Great overview.
My only comment towards the end is that using the term “steel framed building” when you mean “cold formed metal stud framed wall”…load bearing or not…may be confusing to some.
For me “steel framed” means steel columns and beams.
Fair enough....
I've been toying with this in RVT2023 and find the UI to be classic RVT (graphically and syntactically pretty bad). So here's my Stupid Question(s)
1) Is it correct that the "Use Conceptual Masses and Building Elements" setting recognizes element geometry but not element thermal characteristics until you go deeper and check "Detailed Elements".
2) At about 1hr, Dan talks about getting a more sophisticated measurement and does a Schematic Types override of an Exterior Wall. Then he talks about about RVT automatically derating the R-Values to account for thermal bridging. I noticed that the wall he picked was "R-13+3.8 metal frame wall" if you look to the right and divide 1 by the given U-Value, you get the R-Value of 9 that shows up in the Analytic Surface properties dialogue box. So is it correct that Dan's use of the term "derating" means "dig deeper and don't trust the naming of the wall types."?
3) When I check the "Detailed Elements" box, the R-Value of the Analytic Surfaces matches the R-Value that I see in the Edit Assembly dialogue box for the Wall Type. Is it safe to assume that The Factory has automatically derated the thermal properties of each wall layer? If not, how does one correct for that? I Thermal characteristics are often labelled as if they are a monolithic material but except for a mass timber building, one wouldn't have a solid pine wall.....in the case of a residential stud wall where one has wood studs and insulation co-existing, how would one label that layer and assign proper thermal values? What would one do in the case of an antique house with wood studs but no insulation?
I think the answers are Yes, Yes, and No. Dan give more detail on derating here. bimchapters.blogspot.com/2021/05/creating-custom-thermal-asset-for-revit.html
Great talk. The audio isn't balanced between the two of you which is a bit frustrating
What's up with that music man lol.
Its groovy. :)
