Full Description

Building Information Modeling (BIM) can enable frequent and rapid evaluation of energy performance of buildings throughout the design phase of a project. The most widely accepted data schema for a BIM is the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) schema, which is an open standard format for representing information about a project. To leverage an IFC model for energy modeling, geometric information in a model must be translated to an equivalent energy simulation analytical model structure. A workflow is presented to address this need by automating information transformations from the IFC model with geometric and attribute information into an energy analysis model structure in the OpenStudio energy performance simulation platform.
