Tiivistelmä
Nowadays several BIM-programs exist. Each of them includes a variety of use-ful features. The department of Civil Engineering of Oulu University of Applied Science set a task to clarify the Heating and Cooling Loads-tool of the Autodesk Revit MEP program.
The objective of this thesis is to figure out and analyze the mechanism and principles of heat load calculations in the Revit MEP program. The particular target was to explore a build into the program tool, to see the accuracy of it and its value for design or architectural work.
There was made a complete analysis based on the example model created in Revit MEP. The results were compared with the manual calculation. The tool presents different valuable data, though to get the complete picture about heat-ing loss a user would need to search for some additional program. In conclusion it can be stated that the tool is useful and can be developed in different directions.
