Revision history [back]

I'm looking for a list of software applications, tools, or workflows that can automatically generate an energy model from an existing CAD or BIM file. It could include CAD/BIM software that exports an energy model, or energy modeling software that imports a CAD/BIM file, or some kind of middleware. I'm not picky about which energy modeling engine is the target output. You can consider the question from the perspective of a consumer looking at all of the available options for selecting a CAD-to-energy-modeling workflow without regard to engine. I would also be interested in remarks on the completeness and robustness of the resulting energy model and the efficiency and usability of the whole process.
