What happens if the roof is modeled as a floor rather than a roof? In the section below I changed the roof, from my previous post, to a Revit floor element.
This model has a single floor element defining the entire roof. There are no roof elements within this model.
In the EAM, the floor is listed as a Raised Floor. I guess this analytical surface type is used if there is open air above or below (previous I said "just below").
To verify this, after exporting the Revit EAM to Insight, you can use the Export command to write the GBXML to a file.
In the Export dialog, notice all the options we can export, including DOE2 and EnergyPlus.
In the example below, I exported everything... this all comes in a ZIP file.
Notice, roof shows up in a search; if you recall, there were no roof elements in the Revit model. Also, notice the referenced Construction ID.
If you search for construction-51 you see the definition matches the Conceptual Types found back in Revit!
