Hi All,
Has anyone successfully adopted a Revit to ClimateStudio workflow with their new export tool? Right now we are using cove.tool because it works reasonably well with iterative Revit modeling, but are itching to try a more accurate and nuanced alternative.
Thanks for any and all experiences!

The ownership group has taken the responsibility of red list vetting as a task of their own. The construction team is to... Read more

My dear collegues,
