![]() ![]() If you instead focus specifically on solar gain at a schematic level you can derive optimal building forms and have a better idea of where to place the glass and the solid elements of your design - a strategy much more effective than the drop and rotate method. When people talk about siting and building orientation, they tend to think about a building design independent from it's context, where a scheme is plunked down onto the site and rotated until it magically finds the right orientation.īy altering the orientation, the only thing that you're doing is changing the amount of solar gain entering your spaces at different times of day and in different seasons. ![]() Unwanted Solar gain is a major contributor towards unnecessary building energy consumption, particularly for office buildings in temperate or hot climates. I've add my personal thoughts at the end of this post, the rest of you should head over to the Autodesk Labs site and start testing out the plug-in for yourselves. An early release of the Solar Radiation Technology plug-in for Revit will allow users to give feedback during the development of this feature. Isn't this useful, Ecotect solar analysis tools built into Revit. ![]()
