Abstract

This paper addresses the development of a methodological process and sustainable architectural design through the exchange of information between construction models created using the BIM methodology and the most common energy certification programs. Historically, this transfer of constructive information has been a manual task that the designer has had to face, often through the generalization and simplification of the energy models. This document describes a methodology and a proprietary free web application, which enables the reading of information contained in IFC and GBXML files, and incorporates, in an automated manner, the necessary data into the energy model, facilitating its rating, contributing to its evaluation, improving its energy performance, and, consequently, reducing its carbon footprint. The application has been successfully evaluated based on case studies and pilot tests conducted over the course of the IMIP project, simulated energetically with the assistance of the tool. This approach represents a new strategy in the fight against climate change as it: (a) reduces the working time in energy certification processes; (b) facilitates the interaction between different digital models promoting a more informed decisionmaking process in environmental design, which ultimately should contribute to reducing the impact of public and private buildings in Southwestern Europe.
