Energy Analysis in Revit (Insight 360) w/Dan Stine

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!
