Revit model energy analysis

Question

Hello, 
 I made an energy analysis in Revit and now I want to import same model in OpenBuildings and do the same. 
 Is there a way to import in Open Building a model designed in Revit and perform an energy analysis on it? 
 Have someone done it before? 
 Regards

Hi Oleg, 
 Interoperability is one of the strong points of Energy Simulator - you can import floor plans of several formats to trace your model, directly import Hevacomp Design Database models, import architectural models from OpenBuildings Designer using the Analytical Space Model function, and in this particular instance, as Paul refers to, we would suggest importing via gbXML as below:
