The new Conceptual Energy Analysis tools for Revit Architecture allow you to quickly convert conceptual design models into rich analytical energy models. With these models, you can conduct integrated whole building energy analysis within Autodesk Revit Architecture. Access high-resolution, web-based climate data and evaluate design options through graphical results to better inform your design decisions. It’s all possible in Revit Architecture.

This will allow your students Make informed early design decisions by better understanding the impact of proposed designs on sustainability. Convert concept models into energy models for analysis, and more quickly compare design options.

Using design as a tool you can introduce the following concepts to your students as you discuss, energy saving technology and alternative energy solutions.

• Describe the contributions of a building to our carbon footprint, focusing on energy where energy resources are consumed in our daily lives.
• Discuss building systems and the implications for energy consumption
• Discuss the strategy of using the building environment around us as a visible was to express sustainable strategies in our projects
• Research the use of local materials and resources in a building project
• Raise awareness of sustainable approaches.

Using Autodesk Revit as the tool you make your students think green by discussing building systems, the building environment and local resources.
