Description
Manual energy‑code compliance—extracting lighting counts, circuit data, and building areas to feed COMCheck—can be tedious, error‑prone, and hard to maintain. In this session, you’ll see how easy it is to spin up Dynamo graphs (with Python nodes) that 1) Extract building area, active fixture details, and lighting circuits directly from your Revit model; 2) Export everything to Microsoft Excel or generate a COMCheck CXL package in seconds; and 3) Run COMCheck nearly automatically, then visualize results or loop back to your BIM environment. Beyond the “how‑to,” you’ll learn how a few hours of Dynamo prototyping can spark ideas for fully fledged Revit add‑ins—demonstrating why rapid prototyping is the fastest path from concept to deployable tool.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to build a Dynamo graph that harvests building area, lighting fixture parameters, and circuit loads directly from Revit.
- Learn about integrating Python nodes to shape data into COMCheck‑ready tables—exporting to Excel or CXL formats.
- Learn how to parse COMCheck results back into Dynamo or Power BI for quick issue detection.
- Learn about scaling your prototypes, including best practices for converting a Dynamo proof of concept into a Revit API add‑in.
