Automatic Heating and cooling load analysis with Revit API?

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I would like to ask you if it is possible to extract heating and cooling load analysis automatically with Revit API or Dynamo and export it to Excel?  It would be to use with a Revit Batch Processor for many buildings (https://github.com/bvn-architecture/RevitBatchProcessor  (works with python or Dynamo script).

I have seen things to export it to Trane Trace or Sketchup or maybe IFC instead? 

I am a beginner in this field, any help would be really appreciated

Thank you

Yes, of course it is.

I implemented a very simplistic system myself almost a decade ago:

Thank you for your reply, excuse my late reply I was sick for past weeks. 

Could you explain me how it works? You see I have found how to do the classic heating and cooling load reports in revit or Insight360, and I would like to do it automatically for many buildings and extract parameters from it like Surface Area, Wall Area, Glazing Area... The issue is there is to add spaces and zones everywhere before running the analysis. I have seen it is possible with dynamo and run the analysis with it, but the result goes back in the project. I dont know if it is possible to extract it into a csv or xml? 

I could also export to gbXML but it seems it only gives energy settings, everything before running the analysis. 

In the end it is do have a dataset like in http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Energy+efficiency to train a model like in  https://github.com/Yrzxiong/Energy-Efficiency-Analysis

If I cant find I will have to do it manually.

Your help would very nice to me,

Thank you

Sounds like a big and serious project to me. If you solve it as you describe, you have a good business up and running right there.

Ah even to that extent? It is part of a university project so far, may turn into business haha.

Do you see any way of doing it? as you are one of the best in the field, if not I will be quite desperate

Just would you know if it is possible to put spaces and a global zone and run the heating/cooling report with a Dynamo script?  

Thank you very much

Does anybody have an update regarding this topic? 

is possible to extract heating and cooling load Analytical Surace with Revit Dynamo and export it to Excel? I wish to extract parameters like Wall Area and direction, Glazing Area.
The main goal is to extract the data of wall area and direction from Revit and import to other software to conduct heat load estimation(By HAP, excel sheet).

furthermore, the gbXML from Revit does not work, the walls seemed to broken up too much in the Revit model when I open using HAP or CVS since The Analytical Model that is produced from gbXML differs from the Physical Model that is in Revit Views. I believe the best way is to find an approach to extract data by API.
