About this Course

Incorporate Autodesk Insight a powerful building performance analysis software into your design workflow. Learn how to use data to drive energy-efficient building projects.
Buildings consume the lion's share of all of the energy produced in the US. With construction projects ramping up over the next several years, it's critical that architects and engineers take pains to prioritize energy performance in their designs. Insight, the powerful building performance analysis software from Autodesk, can help.

This powerful package allows BIM professionals to integrate energy, lighting, and solar analysis into their workflow and leverage sophisticated simulation engines that empower them to make smart, data-driven design choices.

In this course, expert shows how to use Insight to analyze the solar impact of an apartment complex, starting with simple masses and adding key details to improve the simulation.

 

Topics include:

  • Generating an energy model
  • Working with energy settings
  • Using families to populate changes
  • Deciphering insight results
  • Creating a daylight autonomy study
  • Creating a LEED accreditation study
  • Analyzing PV panel output
