Hi,
In Canada, I personally never heard of anyone using Revit for loads calculation. Someone started a topic here a while back asking for differences between softwares that do loads calculation and surprisingly, even powerful energy simulation tools such as IESVE are not among the preferred options among mechanical engineers for loads calculation.
What I see quite often is TRACE and HAP being used for that purpose, while EnergyPlus, Design Builder eQuest and IES are the most used ones for energy modelling.
Cheers, Kaue
