[EnergyPlus_Support] Interface EnergyPlus and BIM

["alberto" <ahneto@xxxxxx>]

Dear E+ users,

Does anyone know any project/research related to develop a interface for 
EnergyPlus to be used in Building Informtaiton Modelling (BIM) or to develop 
IFC converters to EnergyPlus?

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Alberto Hernandez Neto

Hello

Hers an idea:

1- run the simulation with only the zone of the control;
2- take the control zone tempreture and schedule it to the other zones and 
run the simulation again.

Problems:

Yes, you lose the influce of adjacente, heated, zones on your control zone, 
but I don´t thinck it´s to significant.
