| Abstract |
With the increasing interest in green building and BIM, many studies on BIM-based energy simulation are being conducted in Korean AEC industry recently. One of the biggest issues in current studies is the trouble with interoperability of data between BIM modeling software and BIM-based energy simulation software. The purpose of this study is to establish a Proposition and Application of Mapping System for Input Data between Open BIM Data and Building Energy Simulation Software. For this, the authors analyzed various BIM-based energy software after the overview of Open BIM and energy simulation. In following phases, a mapping system was Proposed first, and an integrated material library was also generated through the system. Finally, the authors developed a IDF-Convertor which allows management, exchange, and sharing of data between IFC and BIM-based energy simulation software. The result of this study would enable the energy simulation using IFC format, which might be considered difficult before. The use of IFC would allow energy software to utilize much data from other fields as well as material data, and so, help energy simulation advance in the future. |
