Model Behavior

An Article on Model Behavior and Architects preparing to take a leading role in Energy Modeling.

Here is a link to a great article that one of the Partners of the firm I work for passed on to me.
http://www.architectmagazine.com/energy-efficiency/architects-should-prepare-to-take-a-leading-role-in-energy-modeling.aspx

The article was written by Wanda Lau for the US publication "Architect" and talks about analyzing your model early in the design process to help design more efficient buildings...  

"Energy modeling is a relative projection of different systems against others and not a guarantee for performance"
Revit has a number of tools available for basic energy analysis where you can compare results from one model design to another including those built in to Revit as well as external software. Even using these to basically compare model design can help you design a more efficient building...

Great article, worth a read...
