Yikes, well, that was a long time between posts.
So, a lot's been happening in the last few months since we were getting ready for RTC Europe (not least of which is that RTC is now the BiLT conference, which Autodesk continues to sponsor), but we owe some folks a few catch up items.
One of the examples the Fractal team has shown is the facade energy analysis video, where we have one output of the Dynamo graph predicting the energy use of the building by evaluating factors such as building orientation (an assumption is made), window-to-wall ratio, and the surface area of shading devices:

We arrived at these factors by supplying a machine learning algorithm with the inputs and outputs of thousands of Insight analyses, discovering a set of variables that had the strongest effect on subsequent analysis results. We wrapped up the resulting equation in a microservice, which can be called with the EnergyPredictML Dynamo…
