Following Purcell's presentation on ‘HBIM for Historic Buildings: Refurbishment of Big Ben for UK Parliament' at AU 2022 this proposal looks at the need for information regarding energy and carbon analysis to be available to designers at early stages of project development especially when retrofitting existing buildings of a historical nature. The standard workflows currently in use with applications such as Revit are based on creating mass elements which are then replaced with objects such as walls, floors etc. to produce models. By utilising tools such as the Insight energy and carbon analysis features developed by Autodesk along with redefining perceived workflows clients/building owners, designers and the wider built environment teams can provide more accurate assessments around historical buildings to ensure these truly amazing structures are retained and appreciated for generations to come.

Buildings are responsible for roughly 37% of worldwide global carbon emissions. Decarbonizing our built environment requires tools for setting achievable targets, defining clear strategies, and determining cost-optimal pathways for achievement. To support these developing needs, new tools and opportunities for design services are emerging for developing "building specific” pathways, guiding investments toward electrification. Using customized Revit Systems Analysis- based workflows, Revit users can collaborate with building owners and other stakeholders to create new value streams by capitalizing on information stored within Revit and enabling design with energy and carbon analysis as part of an integrated building information modeling (BIM) workflow. These features allow Revit users to apply "standardized” methods to Revit projects for rapidly and consistently analyzing the energy and carbon (and associated cost) impacts of electrifying HVAC and SHW infrastructure. Impacts of electric tariffs can also be evaluated.
