kinetic façade into Insight for energy analysis

[rutvikjayeshbhai_chapaneri]

"I created a kinetic panel façade similar to the Al Bahar Tower using Revit and dynamo. When I import my model into Insight for energy analysis, it doesn’t seem to recognize or consider the kinetic façade, which is a major component of the building's design. How can I ensure that Insight includes and properly analyzes the performance of the kinetic façade with the main building in the energy simulation?" here, I attached my file. Any guidance and help would be appreciated.

Hi @rutvikjayeshbhai_chapaneri ,

thank you so much for reaching out on the Community Forum!

We will take a look at your model and try to understand the reason Insight is not recognizing the kinetic facade. 

Have you tried to analyze your model with Insight Total Carbon?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Giuseppe

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your experience with using Revit and Dynamo to create a kinetic panel façade similar to the Al Bahar Tower, and for your inquiry regarding energy analysis in Insight.

When you import your model into Insight for energy analysis, the tool generates an energy analytical model that includes a shade surface to represent the kinetic façade. This means that Insight is designed to consider the impact of the kinetic façade on the overall building performance during the energy simulation.

The energy analytical model is a simplified representation of your originating Revit model. It abstracts the essential elements to provide the necessary information for both energy and carbon analysis. Although it may not visually represent every detail of your kinetic façade, it does take into account its performance and effects on energy consumption.

Please let us know if you have further questions.
