Building Energy Modeling using a BIM Integrated Workflow

Master the golden rules for integrating BIM with energy modeling to provide performance feedback faster and earlier.

This online course teaches you how to use the proven workflow to seamlessly integrate Building Information Models in the energy modeling process. This workflow allows you to deliver results faster and earlier in the design process, while giving you the ability to manage design iterations. All of this can be done with a LEED-compliant energy modeling tool, such as IES VE, TRACE, and OpenStudio, which saves you time by avoiding the rework that would otherwise be necessary from transitioning to this tool. The integration process works by preparing a clean gbXML import file, avoiding errors before they happen. A robust modeling structure is followed to ensure building models are built up correctly from the start.

Deliver Results Earlier. Engage your engineering team earlier in the design process to collaborate on high-performance buildings and receive early LEED insight, even with fast-tracked projects.
Build Energy Models Faster. The streamlined BIM workflow saves you time by avoiding rework, which can lead to significant soft cost savings during the design process.
Perform Design Iterations. Provide quick feedback by managing design updates through the re-integration of BIM for comparative analysis with minimal rework.
Interoperate Between Applications. Learn to build clean models before exporting the gbXML file to avoid integration errors before they happen, yielding predictably good results across many applications.
