“…Terrestrial photogrammetry supplied an accurate 3D point cloud with the critical representation of its graphical rendering and a validated two-dimensional drawing file; comprising in this way, the resources for the H-BIM modelling initiation [40][41][42]. The widely used BIM software Autodesk Revit 2022 was employed in this research [33,43]. The authors used ad-hoc family types and existing BIM ontologies for the creation of the particular building components (H-BIM), based on existing standardised BIM ontologies, to avoid modelling customisations and maintain model consistency and clarity.…”

“…The whole-building energy simulation analysis was performed through EnergyPlus 9.4 and the comprehensive graphical interface of Design Builder V.7, listed as the third most used software for BES worldwide [33,44]. The authors implemented a semi-automatic H-BIM to BES workflow through the IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1196/1/012115 4 gbXML data exchange schema.…”

“…However, the application of BIM in heritage refurbishment projects is challenging [28,29]. This is mainly attributed to emerging complexities of heritage building geometry, the absence of standardised processes, namely the scan-to-BIM intensive modelling process, and finally the inadequate data exchange between native BIM and Building Energy Simulation (BES) software [30][31][32][33].…”

Dynamic simulation tools are widely used in the workflow of energy retrofitting historic buildings as they contribute to the development of an optimised, cost-effective renovation strategy. Additionally, Building Information Modelling (BIM) applied in heritage buildings can provide a holistic platform that improves collaboration between different stakeholders involved in the management, restoration and energy-retrofit of heritage buildings, by facilitating data sharing and project coordination. However, the use of BIM for energy simulation is rarely implemented due to emerging technical complexities regarding data interoperability. In response to the above shortcomings, the paper addresses the challenges of integrating a) dynamic energy performance analysis and b) financial feasibility analysis, using Heritage-BIM (H-BIM) tools. Insights and knowledge acquired through the case of a deep renovation of a historic building in ruin condition is presented. Specifically, an integrated H-BIM approach was developed by the authors in order to propose cost-effective energy efficiency upgrade measures. The energy improvement measures concern the upgrade of the thermal transmission of the building envelope, the incorporation of efficient heating, cooling and mechanical ventilation systems, as well as the incorporation of renewable energy systems. The economic feasibility study is based on widely used financial indicators, including life cycle cost analysis (LCCA). The proposed workflow aims to become a useful methodological tool for public authorities, assisting the attraction of financing mechanisms for the restoration and energy-upgrade of the historic building stock.

“…In fact, in some cases, it does not represent the focus of the article, but is treated as one of the various functions of BIM and BEM. In other cases, although it represents the main theme of the study, it is not addressed in detail in all its facets, which also include the in-depth examination of the different export strategies [9,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

The main objective of this review is to summarize and thoroughly investigate the most popular and promising BIM (building information modeling) and BEM (building energy modeling) interoperability strategies employed in the last years (2004–2023), highlighting pros and cons of each strategy and trying to understand the reason for the still limited BIM–BEM interaction. This review summarizes the main countries, areas, modeling tools, and interoperability strategies, with the advantages and disadvantages of each one. The methodology is based on the PRISMA protocol, and two databases were used for the research: Scopus and Google Scholar. A total of 532 publications were selected and 100 papers were deemed useful for the purposes of this review. The main findings led to the identification of four different interoperability strategies between BIM and BEM tools: (1) real-time connection; (2) standardized exchange formats and middleware corrective tools; (3) adherence to model view definitions; (4) proprietary tool-chain. These strategies were found to be characterized by different degrees of complexity, time required for information exchange, proprietary or opensource software, ability to reduce information loss, and detailed energy results. The results of this study showed that, to date, there is no better interoperability strategy, and that further efforts are needed so that interoperability between the two tools can become commonplace.

“…Existem diversas soluções tecnológicas para trabalhar com projetos em BIM (DI BICCARI et al, 2022), com arquiteturas de software variadas e a custos diversos. Além disso, é comum que haja uma certa afinidade entre os projetistas por determinadas ferramentas, o que pode dificultar o fluxo de trabalho entre as diferentes disciplinas envolvidas no projeto.…”

A transferência de dados entre modelos de informação de construção (BIM) e modelos de energia da construção (BEM) pode ser facilitada com uso da estrutura de transferência de dados Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). No entanto, a interoperabilidade do padrão IFC ainda é um desafio significativo. Para contornar esse problema, o presente trabalho utilizou apresentou uma estrutura em XML, baseada na estrutura do Information Delivery Specification (IDS) como um verificador de modelos padrão IFC, identificando as propriedades térmicas dos materiais construtivos de modelos de análise de energia. Para avaliar a estrutura, foi modelada uma edificação nos programas de modelagem arquitetônica Revit e Archicad a fim de comparar os diferentes IFC gerados. A estrutura do IDS se mostrou eficaz na validação das propriedades solicitadas que originalmente são propriedades listadas na estrutura do padrão IFC. Estruturas não listadas não puderam ser verificadas, destacando a importância de criação de um dicionário de dados adequado a um determinado propósito, como a análise energética, a fim de garantir a verificação dos dados desejados.
