Autodesk Green Building Studio - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Autodesk Insight for Revit is a cloud service that integrates with Autodesk Revit to deliver building performance and sustainability analysis during project design. It leverages the Energy Analytical Model generated in Revit as the foundation for detailed assessments of operational carbon and embodied carbon. The platform supports architecture, engineering and construction professionals in evaluating and comparing environmental impacts of design alternatives.

Users initiate analysis by creating an Energy Analytical Model within Revit before uploading it to the Insight cloud service for processing. The interface presents dashboards that facilitate exploration, visualization and comparison of carbon outcomes across design scenarios. Analytical space and surface resolutions can be adjusted to refine the granularity of energy models and focus on specific building elements.

Insight provides an extensible set of metrics and customizable integration of dashboards and factors to align with project requirements and organizational standards. Scenario management tools allow simulation and comparison of combinations of variables that influence carbon performance. Reporting features adhere to AIA Design Data Exchange standards to document sustainability metrics in a consistent format.

The open architecture of the Insight platform enables integration of custom dashboards, metrics and factors while operating within the Autodesk ecosystem. Insight functions as an extension to Revit and requires access to both Revit and the cloud service to utilize its full capabilities. The Energy Analytical Model remains the central data exchange element between desktop and cloud environments.
