## 3 Research Method
### Running the Autodesk@Green Building Studio  
Revit provides conceptual forms and detailed architectural models to support energy analysis. The tools follow the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) conventions on automated thermal zoning for conceptual masses. Green Building Studio uses the DOE-2.2 simulation engine and creates input files for eQuest, EnergyPlus and an open XML
