Abstract
Today, developing models for Building Energy Performance Simulation (BEPS) is a time consuming and costly process. Automated reuse of data from Building Information Models (BIMs) for BEPS model development is a promising approach to improve the process by avoiding manual data input. Recent work focuses on linking BIM to Modelica, a modelling language that is becoming increasingly important in the BEPS community. This paper presents our technical development of a flexible model transformation system to link BIM with different Modelica libraries to support BEPS. We describe all technical aspects relevant to this modelto- model transformation system: model hierarchy parsing, meta-model creation, model transformation by mapping rules and rule filtering techniques.
