The construction industry is changing
….But it also comes with challenges
Technology allows us to do great things…
• Allow building energy loads to be predicted
• Facilitate achieving a desired level of energy efficiency
• Informed design decision making
• Iterative process with reduced burden of work for Engineer
Energy modelling in the early design stages
• Multi-disciplinary design teams
• Deeper collaboration within teams
• Understanding the needs of other disciplines
The issues: No man is an island
Source: CABE (2003)
• Transfer of information between disciplines
• Complexity of digital exchange
• Variety of softwares used by both Architects and Engineers
The issues: Interoperability
gbxml export to Design Builder: Errors in model
• Tedious re-creation of building geometry
• Multiple truths
• Potential for error
• No clear definition of data that is required
The issues: Duplication of effort
• Building Energy Performance Simulation Tools - a Life-Cycle and Interoperable Perspective –
Tobias Maile, Martin Fischer & Vladimir Bazjanac
General data flow of simulation engines
• 05 - GSA BIM Guide for Energy Performance
Phase requirements of data exchange
• 05 - GSA BIM Guide for Energy Performance
Intended results from better exchanges
• Global standard for information exchange between disciplines
• ISO standard
• Software supported
• Ability to use automated model checking software to ensure compliance
A solution: Standardisation of data exchange
• ISO standards:
– Data: ISO 16739 (IFC) – Industry Foundation Classes
– Process: ISO 29481 (IDM) – Information Delivery Manual
– Terms: ISO 12006-3 (IFD) – International Framework of Dictionaries
• IDM to be implemented by software with MVD’s (Model View Definition)
• Solibri Model Checker can automate geometry and data quality checks to ensure compliance
A solution: Definition of data exchange
• IDM for Design to Building Energy Analysis
– Process Model• Specification of Process
• Specification of Data Objects
• Specification of Decision Point Gateways
– Exchange Requirements for Energy input• Energy Analysis Inputs 1 (Architect)
• Energy Analysis Inputs 2 (Mechanical Engineer\Energy Consultant)
– Exchange Requirements for Energy Simulation Results• Exchange Requirements – Energy Analysis Results

Still gbxml model errors in Design Builder
Architectural and Space IFC model in Solibri Model Checker
Model checking for Space boundary validation
• Enhanced collaboration necessary
• Reduction in re-creation & simplification of models
• Standardised approach
• Automated model parameter checking
• gbxml checking before export
Conclusion: BIM to BEM?
Any questions?
