Can't send energy model to Insight because of location

Hello all. I am trying to send my energy model from Revit to Insight, but when I use the "Generate" button, it appears a error message (see atached). I says that my project doesn't have a location or geographic coordenates.  I have searched other posts and I found that it could related that Revit doesn't recognize the current location. However, I have located the project in various locations and always the message appears.

I appreciate if someone has an clue on this.

Regards

Hi @edgar.rey,

thank you so much for reaching out on the community forum.

Is there a chance you can share your model? Which Revit version are you using?

In addition, in order to use Insight Carbon Analysis and not Insight/GBS, you should launch the analysis from the button I highlighted in the screenshot. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Giuseppe

Hi @giuseppe_ardito. Thank you for your response. I am using Revit 2025 but I tried 2024 as well and I got same message. Yes, I can share my model (I created this for preparing for a class). Please, let me know how can I share this with you.

Right now, I haven't downloaded the Carbon analysis, just using energy analysis. Is it necessary to have the Carbon analysis to better use energy analysis?

Thank you for your reply.

Hi Edgar,

I just took a look at your model you everything looks to run properly in Insight with RVT2024.

I reviewed the project location and the Energy Analytical Model.

Here are the results from Insight.

Let me know if you need anything else or additional support.

Best,

Giuseppe

Hello Giuseppe. Thank you for your answer. I downloaded in my Revit 2025 version the Insight for Revit 2025 extension and I was able to get an analysis about Carbon in the building and the EUI as you showed in your images. Henceforward, I am going to use this extension instead of the energy optimization/GBS button since I read it will be phased out.
Thank you for your time.

Hi, this issue is actually related to Windows's definition of "coma (,), and points (.) to define the longitude and latitude where they expected a points, but instead presented with a coma, you can solve it by changing the decimal symbols within windows like below

Access this window, from:
System Settings ->Time and Language -> Language and Region -> Administrative Language Settings -> Format -> Additional Settings. Change it from comma to point, relaunch Revit and Insight, reconfigure your location, it should be solved.

 

Hope it helps, Cheers!
