Direct BIM to BEM Data Export
ARCHICAD provides relevant BIM information for energy analysis experts. Its Energy Model Review function executes the Automatic Model Analysis algorithm on the building model. This “Direct BIM to Building Energy Model (BEM)” technology eliminates the possibility of data loss or distortion that might otherwise occur during BIM data conversion or remodeling. The ARCHICAD Building Energy Model (BEM) includes thermal blocks and opaque and transparent 2nd level space boundaries, with their respective performance data such as U value, air permeability, and solar absorptance.
This data can be used for energy analysis in three different ways:
1)
Energy performance simulation native to ARCHICAD
•
Energy Evaluation: available in every ARCHICAD
•
EcoDesigner STAR for ARCHICAD: add-on sold separately
2)
Direct Data Export
•
Export to PHPP: available in every ARCHICAD
•
Export to VIP-Energy and iSBEM: available in EcoDesigner STAR only
3)
Export via Standard Data Exchange File Formats
•
gbXML
•
IFC
ARCHICAD BEM Data Export to 3rd Party Software for Energy Performance Simulation
Since GRAPHISOFT’s direct BIM to BEM technology enables energy analysis tools to access the ARCHICAD Virtual Building data, feedback on the building’s energy consumption can be obtained at any time during the design process. Ongoing changes to the architectural design do not lead to any laborious reworking on the simulation side (such as manually adjusting the geometry of the building to keep up with the alterations): all architectural data is up-to-date and immediately usable as input for the energy simulation.
