Energy evaluation model

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi

Actually i am doing my dissertation on Energy analysis by using archicad 17.
I have created the model of the building , however i am trying to run the energy evaluation model and it said that the project does not contain any thermal block.

Could you tell me what i have to do.

Thanks a lot

And this is where it starts to talk about thermal blocks, a concept within Energy Evaluation, one of the steps of the Energy Evaluation workflow is that you group your Zone elements into various Thermal Blocks that have similar characteristics from an Energy Evaluation standpoint:
