SANSCalc Exporter for Revit 2021 has been released

Introduction

The SANSCalc Exporter is a small free app that you install as an add in to Revit to export relevant data from your Revit projects to a database format that can be imported/opened by both SANCalc Desktop or SANSCalc Online. This is used then to create a fenestration report and other Energy efficiency calculations.

Process to install.

Each year a new Revit gets released by Autodesk and this allows us to then update the exporter. The SANSCalc Export Revit 2021 Add-In app is available on the SANSCalc website by following the process:
