Building Energy Model View

The Energy Model Review only works on visible elements; therefore it is necessary to define an ArchiCAD view dedicated to the energy model. Use layer visibility to achieve the view you need. Make sure that zones are visible.

Note: Marquee selection does not filter building elements for the purpose of Energy Model Review.

The Building energy Model View must display all the parts of the building that you want to include in the energy evaluation (internal space zones, building shell elements, internal structures with significant thermal mass, site mesh) and none that you do not (furniture, zones other than those representing the conditioned spaces of the building, separate parallel ArchiCAD elements representing composites).
