RenoBIM: Collaboration platform based on open BIM workflows for energy renovation of buildings using timber prefabricated products

Graph-Based Methodology for Multi-Scale Generation of Energy Analysis Models from Ifc

“…The need to have spaces physically modelled and in most cases perfectly adjacent (no overlaps nor gaps) [31,[33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

“…Clashing between building elements (e.g., overlapping or unconnected walls or floors) is not usually accepted, only some of them do, with limited approach [32,33,38]. For solving the above, some works suggest the use of auxiliary third-party tools (such as Solibri [41]) to audit and fix the model for inconsistencies.…”

“…For renovation and energy audit use-cases, these inputs are becoming more and more popular, and they usually produce BIM models which require cleaning and postprocessing for practical purposes. In some cases dependency of specific commercial tools is stated, either as authoring tool, or as an environment to implement the algorithm as a plugin, e.g., Autodesk Revit [32,33]. Multi-building approach is not targeted.…”

“…Multi-building approach is not targeted. It is only mentioned in Mediavilla et al [33]. However, it requires to manually indicate the external building in the authoring tool and does not implement performance optimisation techniques for models with a very detailed surrounding.…”
