Can I define electricity but also gas consumption for the same space?
Can I define electricity but also gas consumption for the same space?
In my kitchen, there is several electrical equipment but also gas equipment. However, in REVIT I can only define the power density of the equipment, and then in Insight it will assign everything as if it were electrical energy.
To incorporate gas equipment into space systems and understand their impact on energy consumption based on current Revit and Insight capabilities, I suggest the following approach:
Define the gas equipment in Revit as part of the Power Loads, using a conversion factor to translate fossil fuel consumption into electricity usage. A common rule of thumb is that 1 kBtu of fossil fuel consumption typically equals 3 to 5 kBtu of electricity. You can apply this ratio to include gas consumption in the Power Loads in Revit and run a simulation.
However, the gas consumption will still appear under electricity usage in the EUI breakdown, as Revit currently does not support the inclusion of gas equipment per-space .
