Learn More About GBS Analytical Results Testing and Conceptual Mass Model Energy Regression Testing Regression testing is performed for every release of Green Building Studio. GBS passed all of the validation criteria. Work was done to validate the results of these calculations in consultation with National Renewable Energy Labs (NREL), who wrote the book on PV analysis.
Autodesk’s Green Building Studio calculates the potential PV performance on every exterior surface a submitted building model and reports on those surfaces with better than the user-specified payback period. Green Building Studio web service simulation results were evaluated and met the criteria, under ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140, Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs, and certified by the U.S. DOE-2.2 has been in development for over four decades and has been validated by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Los Alamos National Laboratory.ĪNSI/ASHRAE 140 (Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs). Green Building Studio uses the DOE-2.2 simulation engine. Green Building Studio is built with proven technology you can trust:ĭOE-2.2. Below are links to our validation documents for key features. With each new release of Green Building Studio, tens of thousands of regression tests are conducted, including industry-accepted tests such as ASHRAE Standard140. That is why our BPA solutions are integrated into our modeling tools and why Autodesk has industry-leading testing and validation standards. It is a high priority for Autodesk to improve the quality, reproducibility, and prevalence of building energy modeling. Trust and Confidence by Design Industry Leading Engine: DOE-2.2 + ASHRAE Standard140 Validation Green Building Studio also supports Green Button formatted utility data - making the process even easier. For existing building projects, you can upload building utility history and Green Building Studio will automatically collect historical weather data from that same period of time (from a service called 3Tier), so you can create a calibrated energy model. Weather Data Applicable for New and Existing Buildings Trustworthy Weather Data for Millions of Locations All Over the World For new building projects, Green Building Studio gives you access to over a million virtual weather stations that are compiled from a variety of valid sources. All of these runs are completed in the cloud in about the same amount of time it takes to do one manually! Green Building Studio tests a variety of building features automatically and provides straightforward guidance on which variations will have the largest impact on energy use. Predictive Analytical Reporting Quickly Understand What Has the Most and Least Potential for Saving Energy A typical whole building energy analysis looks at over 50 variations of different parameter alternatives in a building, and that can take considerable time to conduct. That is why Green Building Studio adds defaults and assumptions based on your building type and location to complete the Energy Analytical Model. Sometimes, these variables are not known by the project team, hindering the creation of a valid and useful analysis. Whole Building Analysis Providing Guidance On What Really Drives Energy Cost Whole building energy analysis accounts for all of a building’s energy-using systems, and can give you reasonable energy cost projections to use for your design decisions and financial analyses.
The analysis will also work if you already have room or space objects placed. No room or space object placement is required for this analysis as they are identified automatically - a huge productivity gain. It is now just as easy to run whole building performance analyses on Revit’s building element model as it is with Revit’s conceptual massing model. Detailed Model Simulation Pain-free Geometry Conversions New in Autodesk Revit 2014, Revit Energy Analysis now more seamlessly creates valid Energy Analytical Models from detailed architectural models, and includes the thermal properties of building elements.
