Revision history [back]

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

I am new to OpenStudio and I have a university project that I will start to do from today. I will be modeling about 10 university buildings in order to see the measures that can be taken to reduce energy consumption.

I will be given data on current consumption and installed equipment.

The questions that I would like to ask are the following:

I will be given 2D AutoCAD drawings for each floor of each building. Of course, being a university building, each floor has lots of rooms (class rooms), windows, offices, .. I have read about the drawing software in which one can import these 2D drawings and do the 3D building (Such as Sketchup for example). I also saw that OpenStudio has a Geometry tab that one can edit in. So based on this:

1) What is the the best and most efficient way I can go from these 2D drawings in order to make the building model in OpenStudio ? 2) I have chosen OpenStudio based on some research I did. Based on my project goals stated, do you recommend any simpler way to go with ? 3) What are the best steps that you recommend to follow to reach the goal ?

Thanks a lot and have a nice day.

With my best regards,
