Summary: The growing energy demand imposes a paradigm shift with regard to issues of
generating sources and the means to make their use more sustainable. The
construction industry plays an important role, considering that the energy
consumption of the sector is very significant throughout the life cycle of a building,
however, a series of tools have arisen with the purpose of making the Architecture,
Engineering and Construction - AEC more efficient and with less environmental
impact, being Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the Building Energy Modeling
(BEM) programs that are part of this group. The research seeks to evaluate the
interoperability performance between the BIM and BEM tools after the sharing of the
Reference and Adjusted models, and their parameters calculated by the RTQ-C
Prescriptive Method. The models created from the standard building had their
wrappers detailed in the BIM Autodesk® Revit® tool and shared with the BEM tools -
Green Building Studio; EnergyPlus; eQUEST; DesignBuilder; IES-VE; OpenStudio
and Insight through the two standard formats of interoperability, IFC and gbXML, and
the derivatives of gbXML - IDF and INP. Three tools did not perform simulations after
interoperability, either importing gbXML and IFC files or loading the IDF and INP files.
Among the tools that performed the simulations, only EnergyPlus presented coherent
and consistent results after loading the IDB files derived from gbXML from the Green
Building Studio tool and the Insight plugin.
Keywords: BIM, BEM, interoperability, IFC, gbXML, energy efficiency.
