Building information modeling (BIM) is a powerful collaboration and project delivery concept which is becoming popular in the architectural and engineering practice. Software developers are constantly extending the boundaries by introducing new features into their programs, such as support for an integrated workflow, thus inviting different specialists to participate in the project at earlier design stages. These type of contributions highlight the importance of decisions concerning the most effective method to export information, invariant of the chosen data model, be it IFC or gbXML. Extensions to existing software are also considered, i.e. plugins. Export of simple geometries is tested within three BIM platforms: ArchiCAD, Allplan and Revit. The main focus of the presented test is exporting of the building materials data and its preservation in the IFC and gbXML format, specifically for import into thermal simulation tools. The application and capabilities of EnergyPlus and ArchiPHYSIK are explored. We summarize our results as a sequence at guidelines and recommendations suggesting optimal workflows for each BIM platform, as well as design for -Customizer-application, which assists in mapping of the needed data, on a per application basis, from IFC or gbXML to the IDF files usable to ArchiPHYSIK and EnergyPlus.

Building information modeling (BIM) is a powerful collaboration and project delivery concept which is becoming popular in the architectural and engineering practise. Software developers are constantly extending the boundaries by introducing new features into their programs to support the integrated workflow and invite different specialists to participate in the project on the early design stage. This contribution further expands the discussion about the most effective method to export the information whether by IFC or gbXML data model; with or without the assistance of additional plugins. Export of the simple geometry is tested within three BIM platforms: ArchiCAD, Allplan and Revit. The main focus of presented test runs is set on exporting the building materials data and its preservation in the IFC and gbXML for the further import to the thermal simulation tools. For the purpose of the present contribution the application and capabilities of Energy plus and Archiphysik are explored. As a conclusion, the guidelines and recommendations about the best workflow for each BIM platform are suggested, as well as the design for the “Customizer” application, which assists the mapping of the necessary data from IFC or gbXML to the IDF files usable to Archiphysik and Energy plus.

This article aims to present a theoretical review related to Building Information Modeling (BIM), Facility Management (FM) and Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie), and promoting a comparative analysis of the specification and extraction process of the COBie standard among two acknowledged design BIM tools, Autodesk Revit and ArchiCAD. The aspects ranging from data input, setup, modify, data quality control until extraction were considered during the experiment.

The content of the present investigation shows the problems experienced by the students or graduates of the Architecture Career of the Department of Earth Sciences of the TecNM - Campus Querétaro, in front of the labor field; either because in the construction where the job is requested look for a prospect of Architect, with knowledge in BIM (Building Information Modeling) in CAD programs (Computer Aided Drawing) with three-dimensional approach, or within the curriculum of TecNM - Campus Querétaro , Request a high job demand, which for reasons of time this can not be covered.
