Abstract

The emergence of BIM-assisted building digital twins is facilitating building digitalization efforts across various domains. These digital twins necessitate the creation of building energy models (BEM) derived from BIM data. These models are crucial for conducting building simulations, which in turn evaluate the thermal performance of buildings. To address this need, this study presents a semi-automated workflow for converting BIM data into BEMs. Specifically, the workflow utilizes IFC BIMs generated from point cloud data obtained through building scans. Manual intervention in this workflow is minimal, primarily focusing on detecting and correcting errors in BIM geometry resulting from the semi-automatic conversion of point cloud data to BIM format. The process is applied to an existing office building.
