The architecture 2030 Challenge calls for all new US buildings, developments, and major renovations to be carbon-neutral by 2030. The key to meeting this challenge? Energy analysis from start to finish. Analyzing a complete or near-final design has little or no effect on a building’s operational energy performance. But leveraging energy analysis as a decision-making […]

Revit 2018 enables you to modify an electrical circuit path for more accurate voltage drop calculations. You can choose to edit the circuit path by selecting Farthest Device, All Devices, or Custom and manually edit the circuit path. You can manually adjust the offset (elevation) and position of the circuit path as well as set […]

Energy analytical model – outside air enhancements Would you like to cover all internal gains, occupancy schedules, and outdoor air requirements with a single setting from a list of ASHRAE 62.1 activities?  What if you could use the same data from your BIM model for more detailed energy analysis in simulation software like Autodesk Insight, […]

What’s your process for conceptual design? Every project starts with a sketch, but if you’re sketching on a piece of paper, you’re in a physical realm that you’re going to need to rebuild if you want to turn it into a digital model.
