The discussed problem or question refers to the Revit BIM software. We were trying to establish whether Revit's energy analysis is accurate enough to be able to be used for calculating thermal loads. To tackle this issue we set up a reference model and performed calculations using the Revit software, the IDA software, and the engineering method based on specific standards. Subsequently, we compared the obtained results and set out particular aspects that lead to differences in the calculations. Finally, we concluded deductions about the Revit software.
