Energy Analysis - Revit MEP, GBS, Trace 700, DOE-2, eQuest

So, I was reading the Inside the System Blog. There Kyle wrote about the Advanced Energy Analysis Blog, where there is a fabulous article for Revit MEP users that want to look at different ways to extract model data into analysis software. 

















Dang, I wish I did all the research and posted this myself. Thanks for the kick start gents!

Greenology at Autodesk

In November Autodesk published a report from an experiment they did involving the a rapid energy modeling for 6 of their existing buildings all over the globe. If you can't get enough of that Green-Revit-Synergy type stuff, you should check out the Rapid Energy Modeling Report PDF they have posted on their web site.

Autodesk Acquires Green Building Studio

Well, I didn't see this coming, but what do I know? Autodesk has acquired Green Building Studio. Check out the official press release here.

I'm going to start something Green for Autodesk to buy.

Autodesk Nabs Green Building Studio and Carmel

Autodesk announced on February 12th that it has signed an agreement to acquire substantially all the assets of Green Building Studio and Carmel Software Corporation.

Green Building Studio provides free online feedback on building loads and guidance on greening your building.

Carmel Software Corporation makes Duct Size, Load Soft and Design Build HVAC software among others.

Look out baby; I think Autodesk's intent is to combine the design with the document. I could have sworn 5 years ago, they said they would leave that to the people they just bought. Oh well, it makes perfect sense to me. I wish I owned some software Autodesk would buy. I wrote some really cool lisps and made an interesting light fixture family the other day.
