Within Autodesk Vasari and Autodesk Revit, The Solar Radiation Analysis will give you information about how much solar radiation is hitting the faces of your building, which can inform your placement and angle of solar panels and material selection.

• To perform most analysis in Ecotect, it is recommended to build a model first in Revit and then export the model from Revit to Ecotect. Revit is a much more intutive modeler and will save you time and frustration preparing your energy model.
• The Visualizing Architectural Analysis video is a comprehensive overview of several simulation features that goes into Solar Radiation calculations in Ecotect.
