Presented by: Mike Lambert 26:00
Using Bentley Building Electrical Systems software you can explore schemes for lighting solutions using energy analysis. You'll be able to produce dynamic reports that are required by contract or on the fly as needed. You'll also be able to produce the most energy-efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly system. Bentley puts you ahead of your competition in this very critical part of a structure's design.

gbXML with Bentley Building Mechanical

Click here to view the session
Presented by: John Crosby & Matthias Schneider 24:23

Saving energy isn't a challenge that can wait for the future.
It must be addressed today - for example, by initiatives to exchange information through generally accepted data formats like IFC and gbXML.

In this session we demonstrate how a 3D BIM model created in Bentley Architecture can serve for energy analysis by sharing it via gbXML for use in energy analysis programs and Web services, and review the results.
