Install Insigth 360 on Revit to perform solar analysis, adjust sun and shadows, and configure PV settings to estimate annual energy production from solar panels.

Use solar measurements to determine rooftop surface in kilowatts, using location data and 60 percent surface area to estimate payback period for the solar panels.

Learn daylighting strategies in sustainability on BIM with Autodesk Revit and Insigth 360, covering daylight vs sunlight, lumens and luminance, glare avoidance, reflections, and window design to reduce energy use.

Configure glazing and surface reflection values in a BIM workflow by setting glass material properties, curtain wall glass types, and reflectivity to assess daylight and lighting analysis for sustainability.

Explore how to visualize lighting results in BIM with Revit and Insigth 360, using daylight and luminance analyses, threshold-based color schematics, and cloud rendering to evaluate room illumination.

Apply the 11-day light analysis file to evaluate room lighting, using the main room and separate rooms to create your analysis diagram.

Analyze internal and external thermal loads using Insight 360 within a BIM workflow. Reduce energy demand, improve efficiency, and compare consumption with energy generation for lifecycle cost benefits.

Explore energy analysis in insight 360, using a conceptual model to adjust levels, orientations, walls, and windows, and optimize cost per cubic meter per year with lighting controls.

Create an energy model by generating an in place mass aligned to project levels, then configure energy settings and materials to analyze performance in Autodesk Revit and Insigth 360.

Create a clean energy model from elements by removing links, building a shell energy model, and validating rooms, areas, and thermal properties to improve analysis accuracy.

Coordinate walls and elements across levels, set materials, and link or hardlink components to create a complete energy model for sustainability analysis.

Advance the analytical model by updating walls and openings, selecting links, and converting walls to concrete units to refine the boundary for the lobby energy model.

Create a new window family in revit, configure glass material and thickness, and set instance parameters to produce an energy model window for performance analysis.

Model interior and concrete walls, align boundaries, and build a coherent energy model in Revit, then open and optimize it in Insight 360.

Review insigth data to compare energy models, adjust wall characteristics, materials, and climate location, and measure changes in energy consumption and costs.

Review Green Building Studio guides you through configuring energy models in Green Building Studio, adjusting shell construction, roof, windows, and electrical loads to analyze lifecycle costs and emissions.

Create a copy of the selected elements and build a focused energy model showing only required openings, using other elements to clarify the energy model inside buildings and review options.

Explore climate and weather data for sustainable bim design using Autodesk Revit and Insigth 360, analyzing humidity, temperature ranges, cooling needs, extremes, and wind-driven airflow.

Learn to read the green building studio data, including weather summaries, cooling/heating degree days, wind directions, humidity, sky cover, and radiation distributions to optimize sustainable bim design.

Shape wind flow and ventilation through massing, sun access, and openings. Guide air with high and low openings to influence air movement; solar chimney and chiller chimney illustrate heat transfer.

Use flow design tools to simulate wind flow around a model, adjusting orientation, wind speed, and tunnel settings; analyze pressure distribution, flow lines, and smoke visualization to optimize facade performance.

Apply your energy model from the previous exercise to a flow simulation, identify airflows that will hit and determine pressure values to consider in your final model.

Configure spaces across multiple levels to enhance energy analyses in Revit and Insigth 360, setting room properties, space types, occupancy, lighting, and ventilation for parking, offices, and open space.

Configure and rebuild the energy model in Revit and insight 360 by adjusting spaces, elements, and settings; analyze heating, cooling, filtration, shading, and electricity rates to optimize costs.

Use the other analysis file in the final exercise to adjust cost values and settings, showing how changes improve the overall cost.
