<p>Hi Julia,<br>
<br>
I always use gbxml to get my geometry into my energy modelling software.<br>
I've done almost everything from villas (one or two rooms) to large office buildings with 1000s of rooms. <br>
Usually I get 2d dwgs and then I create my geometry in Revit A and then transfer it via gbxml to the modelling software, Virtual Environment.<br>
<br>
If the architect use Revit it is somethimes possible to use their models and if I get involved early in the project I try to have a short training session, half a day or so to show them what to think about and how to modell correctly and so on. Usually I end up remodelling buildings designed in Revit, because they are modelled badly. <br>
<br>
We are now seeing a large increase in demand for these services and we are doing alot of traing both inhouse and against other architectual firms.<br>
Things have really started to change this year. <br>
<br>
Best regards<br>

<font face="Arial">Hi All,</font><br>
<font face="Arial">I am curious about how much people are currently utilizing the gbxml interface for importing of the room and envelope data into their energy models?</font><br>
<font face="Arial">The kinds of feedback/opinions I'm looking for are:</font>
<ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li><font face="Arial">Are you using gbxml on none/some/most/all of your energy models? Or, are you still finding manual inputting of room and envelope data to be just as or more efficient...or perhaps less frustrating? </font>
<li><font face="Arial">What percentage of the models that you work on would you say use gbxml imports versus manual data inputting? </font>
<li><font face="Arial">Does the size, complexity and budget on the project make a difference?</font>
<li><font face="Arial">Does the design phase in which you start the energy modeling make a difference?</font>
<li><font face="Arial">Are the architects you are working with even constructing BIM type models that you can get the gbxml files from? If so, are they constructing clean/tight models that produce good gbxml files for energy analysis? </font>
<li><font face="Arial">If you know the arch's are going to be constructing a BIM model, does it influence what energy modeling software you use on the project? </font></ul>
</ul>
<font face="Arial">Would love to hear your thoughts and experience about the current state of things and if you are seeing things change in your part of the world.</font>
<p><font face="Arial">Thanks in advance for your feedback.</font><br>
