There is still work in progress on developing utilities for import of
IFC geometry, materials, and construction data into energy simulation.
To my knowledge, this work has not yet produced a robust utility for
this data exchange in the U.S. market.<br>
<br>
There are tools currently available for data exchange between Autodesk,
and other vendor, CAD software and energy simulation tools (e.g., see
Green Building Studio at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.greenbuildingstudio.com">www.greenbuildingstudio.com</a>).<br>

<br>
What is the current situation on the Industry foundation classes (IFCs)
of International Alliance For Interoperability (IAI) with regards to
building energy and daylight simulation? <br>
Also with regards to AutoCAD and Revit: with the CAD shifting to Revit,
is there interoperability between Revit and the simulation tools we use
everyday? <br>
<br>
Any information is appreciated,<br clear="all">
