- Open the Generating Insights from a Conceptual Mass Model - Start model.
- Generate Insights for this model.
- Open the Generate tool.
- Confirm whether you want to use the existing energy analytical model or update it.
- Wait a few minutes as the insights are generated.
- Open the Insight interface using the Optimize tool to view the simulation results.
- Set the Insight interface preferences for viewing the results.
- Click the Back to Insight link.
- Open the Settings tool from the right toolbar in the Insight interface.
- Set the desired:
- Unit system: Imperial
- Values to be rolled up: EUI
- Sorting order for widgets: By Importance
- Click on the project tile to return to the simulation results.
- Set the Insight interface preferences for viewing the results.
- Use the Benchmark Comparison tile to see how the current assumptions for your project compare to the ASHRAE 90.1 and Architecture 2030 benchmarks.
- Click the Location tile to view the location and weather station information.
- Use the Visualization menu (at the top of the Insight interface) to visualize:
- Photovoltaic (PV) Analysis
When you have completed this exercise, your model should look like this:
