You need to us Autodesk's Green Building Studio. 

 

You export a gbxml file out of Revit into GBS, and then an INP file out
of GBS.

 

A caution here - it's not as simple as it sounds. We are finding that
most Revit models have too much information to be useful once they are
past the DD phase. Very often it's easier to build from scratch in the
wizard than it is to 'dumb down' the Revit model for export.

How do you get an inp file from Revit? We have been trying to do this
and the only way we found was to first go to ecotect then export inp. If
you can go from Revit please let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Danny

Another way to go is with the green building studio. You can get an inp
file for eQUEST from revit.

Is anyone aware of a good way to get REVIT to report or assist in
reporting building energy use?  We currently use HAP however are not
opposed to purchasing new software.

 

Thanks;
