I'm an architect with an A/E firm that has recently upgraded to Revit '08. I'm hoping to use its energy modeling features to design High Performance Buildings for LEED Certifications. The situation I'm experiencing occurrs while inputting the costruction information into the project. There is apparently a data base of construction assemblies (including U values) from which to choose when defining the building envelope. The problem I'm encountering is that I can't find an assembly to match what I have designed into the architectural model and I can't find a way to edit the data base that Revit uses to add the assemblies I need. Is there a way to do it? I know that there are supported text files that are used fo keynotes and Uniformat Assembly Codes that can be edited. Is there something available for the construction types? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

I have an update for interested parties. An associate and I discovered how to customize the construction types for energy modeling. Revit MEP apparently refernces an xml file for the choices that are available. You can customize these choices by editing the xml file. The file name is "constructions.xml" and it is located in C:\Program Files\Revit Architecture 2008\Program. Your folder structure may vary but this should get you close enough. We have not tested it yet since we found the soulution only a few minutes ago but will post an update once we do.
