Autodesk Revit Solar Radiation Technology Preview

[alexandra_dodge]

Now Available:

The new Solar Radiation Technology Preview allows users to analyze the effects of solar radiation on the surfaces of a conceptual building model within Autodesk® Revit® Architecture 2010 and Autodesk® Revit MEP® 2010 software. Using the Solar Radiation Analysis add-in during the conceptual design stage of a project can help users make fundamental design decisions about building shape, orientation, and surfaces early on – when changes are the least costly. The add-in uses conceptual massing elements from Revit-based models and the Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis insolation analysis engine to calculate the amount of solar radiation hitting the surfaces of the massing forms. Learn more about the Solar Radiation Technology Preview on Autodesk Labs: http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/ecotect/.

Will this be a part of Ecotect, or is it strictly an add-on to Revit?

It is an add on to Revit. Ecotect already does this kind of analysis.

This add in brings that functionality INTO Revit. no need to export and
work in Ecotect to get the same kind of analysis. It also allows you to
create a view in your Revit broject browser so the information is much
easier to incorporate into a presentation.

Great! Thank you!

It is great !
Because the solar study is only a shadow that let you see where the sun hit the building. But with solar radiation we get more accurately information.

Good for us. Now we have two ways to show the calculation.

Keep going ... we are enjoying !
