To be able to perform a successful evaluation with Energy Evaluation, you must create the virtual building model in ARCHICAD. The more detailed the model, the more accurate the calculation results will be. For successful evaluation, you should model, at minimum, the enveloping building structures and openings as well as the major internal structures that represent significant heat storage mass.
