Performance-driven design with Revit and Autodesk Insight

Module overview

Discover integrated performance analysis workflows using Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Insight. Beginning with the creation of an Energy Analysis Model (EAM) in Revit, you will export a model to Insight to run EnergyPlus-based simulations, assign HVAC systems, and interpret energy results. You’ll learn about embodied carbon analysis and how to map material definitions and quantify lifecycle impacts using cloud-based tools. Finally, you’ll learn to create custom dashboards to compare scenarios and explore the effects of different design factors—equipping you with practical skills for advancing sustainability through data-driven BIM workflows.
