If you’ve ever had to re‑import a Revit model into the IES Virtual Environment and ended up with geometry issues, room errors, or unexpected cleanup work, you’re not alone. Tutorial 03 covers the key modelling best practices and the streamlined re‑import workflow we use at CEC to keep models clean, consistent, and analysis‑ready.
Whether you’re updating a design, coordinating changes, or aiming to reduce rework, this tutorial gives you a clearer, more reliable process for managing Revit‑to‑IES updates.

If you’ve ever struggled to bring an architectural Revit model, especially one loaded with curtain walling, cleanly into the IES Virtual Environment, you’re not alone. Tutorial 02 walks you through the exact workflow we use at CEC to take a design‑stage model and prepare it for reliable thermal and compliance analysis. Whether you’re an architect, an MEP engineer, or simply looking to refine your modelling process, this tutorial offers a clearer, more dependable route from Revit to IES.

If you’ve ever questioned what actually counts as regulated or unregulated energy in a Part L assessment, or why certain systems appear in BRUKL and EPC outputs while others don’t, you’re not alone. Tutorial 04 focuses on one of the most common sources of confusion in Part L compliance and provides clear, practical guidance.
Using a full hotel model as the example, the tutorial breaks down how energy is defined within the compliance boundary, what constitutes a fixed building service, and how different systems and loads should be represented in IESVE. It also addresses common issues such as system classification, ventilation modelling, and avoiding DHW double‑counting.
Whether you’re working on Part L assessments, EPCs, BRUKLs, or day‑to‑day IESVE modelling, this tutorial provides a clearer and more reliable approach to handling regulated and unregulated energy with confidence.
