    NoteTo use this feature, you must sign in to Autodesk 360 in InfoCenter. Click Sign In and enter the User ID and password associated with your Autodesk account.

    The following instructions describe how to perform Autodesk 360 energy analysis in Vasari. Use these instructions to quickly create a baseline analysis that uses default energy settings. Then see the Autodesk 360 Energy Analysis Detailed Workflow to learn how to modify the conceptual model and its energy settings to refine the design for improved analysis results.

    1.

    Create a mass model.

    		Create a mass model.

    You can load a mass family into a project for analysis or create an in-place mass directly in a project.

    2.

    Add mass floors.

    		In the project environment, select the model, and add mass floors.
    3.

    Create the energy model.

    		Click Analyze tabEnergy Analysis panelEnergy Settings. In the Energy Settings dialog:
    • For Building Type, review the occupancy type assigned to the building, and modify as needed.
    • For Location, review the geographic location specified for the project, and modify as needed.
    • Select Create Energy Model, and click OK.
    4.

    Click Analyze Mass Model and sign in.

    		Display a 3D view of the mass model, and click Analyze tabEnergy Analysis panelAnalyze Mass Model.
    NoteIf you have not already signed into Autodesk 360, the Autodesk Sign In dialog displays. Enter your assigned user name and password, and click Sign In. When you sign in successfully, the analysis service is authenticated and enabled, and the dialog closes.
    5.

    Analyzed elements display.

    		In the Analyze Mass Model dialog, specify a name for the analysis, and click Continue.

    The current view displays mass zones and mass shades, and it temporarily dims elements that are not included in the analysis.

    6.

    Click the analysis name.

    		When the analysis is complete, an alert displays. Click the analysis name in the alert to view the analysis results.

    Or click Analyze tabEnergy Analysis panelResults & Compare, and select the analysis from the project tree.

    7.

    Review the analysis results.

    		In the Results and Compare dialog, view the analysis results.
    TipUse the Settings tab to select the charts to include in the results and to configure the display of energy analysis data on the Results tab.
    8.

    Make changes, analyze, and compare.

    		Modify the mass model and energy settings as needed. Then repeat steps 4-7 to run an analysis on the modified model.

    For a side-by-side comparison of analysis results, select multiple analyses and click Compare on the toolbar.
