“…Detail refinement in the latter stages necessitates program knowledge (The American Institute of Architects, 2012). The deficiencies in operating these two interoperable programs make designers and architects to turn to The Autodesk Insight 360 application to analyze the energy performance of buildings (Zhang et al, 2023). After introducing this program, the aim is to investigate WWR, window shades and window material in this program further.…”

“…Insight 360, on the other hand, does not give extensive assessments. (Zhang et al, 2023) Moving information from BIM to BEM today, as demonstrated by the case study, necessitates a significant degree of human coordination, which is inherently resource-intensive, error-prone, and irreproducible. Part of the problem is that BIM is designed for a certain discipline, often architectural representation or construction documentation.…”

“…It might improve the technical efficiency of data analysis to make it simpler to compare and comprehend the effects of various options available directly from Autodesk Revit Architecture (Maurya, Kumar, Bharadwaj, Rawat & Kumar, 2021). The Autodesk Green Building Studio service may aid in changing the way building energy analysis is used in the design process (Zhang et al, 2023). After introducing Insight360, the aim is to investigate WWR, window shades and window material in this program further and pointing out its missing data that needs more investigation.…”

In designing eco-buildings, windows play a big part in minimizing the energy load. There has not been any easy-to-use software to speed up the process, even after many recent studies about environment-friendly window size, shading, position, and material. Thus, a single-family house with simple geometry in Kvemelto karti, Georgia, was simulated to introduce an alternative method to manage this gap. A building information model (BIM) was devised for this procedure through Autodesk Revit® due to its simplicity, popularity, interoperability and convenience among its users. Not to mention, the energy analysis tool (The Autodesk Insight 360) in Revit (BEM) displays the total energy load while, in this case, focusing on window size, position, material, and shading executed by Autodesk Green Building Studio®. The early energy analysis (the optimum window-to-wall ratio (WWR), the windows’ location in the wall, material, and shading) suggested by BEM does not give enough information to apply in the early stages of design and create a net-zero-energy building. The aim is to show the gap between data-driven from BEM and design strategies and to display the information required to be more detailed. For this purpose, after using Insight 360 (a web-based tool) for investigating window shades, material, and WWR, it has been concluded that there is a need for a more convenient way to automate the process in more depth. They could help to pick a viable widow shading, size, position, and material. Besides, choosing determined factors using just BEM is not practical because detailed characteristics of window factors as determining elements are not defined. This tool has its limitations.
