Prepare the Architectural BIM for Energy Evaluation

For successful evaluation, the building model must contain at least the enveloping structures and fenestration, as well as all major internal structures that represent significant heat storage mass.

Furthermore, ArchiCAD zones must be placed in every conditioned space of the building, since the model’s geometry analysis is based on these ArchiCAD zones.

The Energy Model Review works only on visible elements, so you must 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.
