Master the golden rules for integrating BIM with energy modeling to provide performance feedback faster and earlier.
This online course teaches you how to use the proven workflow to seamlessly integrate Building Information Models in the energy modeling process. This workflow allows you to deliver results faster and earlier in the design process, while giving you the ability to manage design iterations. All of this can be done with a LEED-compliant energy modeling tool, such as IES VE, TRACE, and OpenStudio, which saves you time by avoiding the rework that would otherwise be necessary from transitioning to this tool. The integration process works by preparing a clean gbXML import file, avoiding errors before they happen. A robust modeling structure is followed to ensure building models are built up correctly from the start.
Deliver Results Earlier. Engage your engineering team earlier in the design process to collaborate on high-performance buildings and receive early LEED insight, even with fast-tracked projects.
Build Energy Models Faster. The streamlined BIM workflow saves you time by avoiding rework, which can lead to significant soft cost savings during the design process.
Perform Design Iterations. Provide quick feedback by managing design updates through the re-integration of BIM for comparative analysis with minimal rework.
Interoperate Between Applications. Learn to build clean models before exporting the gbXML file to avoid integration errors before they happen, yielding predictably good results across many applications.
Section 2: Foundations of Integration Modeling
Learn how to construct building geometries using the precise and specific positioning of Revit's model elements. These elements are placed over an underlay of an example building to understand the relationship and hierarchy between the typical architectural design and the engineered integration process. The techniques are applied to many of the scenarios that would typically be encountered in non-domestic construction, such as open atriums, curtain wall facades, sloped floors, exterior shading, along with the precise placement of elements within the context of each other. Complete enclosures surround all room volumes and the model elements are built up to a level of detail of 200 (schematic stage). The information is organized in schedules and zones in preparation for the energy modeling integration.
Section 3: Geometry Integration
Learners integrate Revit's building geometry in IES VE and comprehensively review the model for its integrity to mitigate potential errors. The engineered integration workflow mitigates 95% of the errors that would otherwise occur, and shows you how to fix the minor imperfections within IES' ModelIt. Once the energy model geometry is perfected, the building constructions are built up and applied. The thermal templates are retrieved from the Revit schedules and applied to each room.
Section 4: Integrated Energy Simulation
The energy model is simulated and then amended for design changes. The amendments are performed in Revit and re-integrated into the VE using the integration workflow to isolate only the necessary elements, avoiding rework and providing quick feedback results. The energy model is analyses using VistaPro to identify energy conservation opportunities. The building inputs are refined and an energy conservation package is implemented for a final comparative cost analysis between two potential scenarios. The building loads are examined closely and reports are generated in order to right size building systems.
