Optimize the Revit model: Shading, lighting, and solar

“

- [Instructor] In the previous video, we optimize the shading, lighting, and solar related building factors in Autodesk Insights. In this video, we'll leverage the insights to optimize our Revit model even more and generate the new energy model. Based on the insights from the previous video we should have the following. First, we should have window shades of about one sixth of the window heights. And secondly, we should have lighting fixtures with efficiency ranging between 7.53 watts per square meter and 3.23 watt per square meter. And also we should have both daylight and occupancy controls in the building. Finally, we should have PV partners with efficiency ranging between 18.6% and 24.4%. Payback limits of 20 to 30 years and surface coverage of 60 to 90%. So with all these insights in mind let us optimize the Revit model. To do that, open the Revit model that I use to optimize the construction and glazing factors…
