Performing Conceptual Energy Analysis on Your
Building
Revit MEP has the ability to perform a conceptual energy analysis on the
project building directly within Revit. With the increasing requirement for
projectstoachieveLeadershipinEnergyandEnvironmentalDesign(LEED)
certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), it proves
beneficial to analyze a simplified project building in the concept design
phase. Knowing a building's possible energy performance will help you flesh
out the design of the building systems. Having an idea of how the building
will perform will also help your team with fleshing out the project's LEED
checklist.
