Building Energy Performance Analysis softwares and after...

Hello,

I started lately to work on building energy models. I was looking into Autodesk softwares - Revit, Ecotect, Vasari among the others. I noticed by comparison with other softwares that once you get out from the conceptual stage of the project; you can't use these softwares anymore. With the emergence of the Integrated Project Delivery, I'm looking to a product where you can improve your building from A to Z in the same software and be able to do analysis in it at the same time (at least exporting it correctly) until the construction phase (and even after, for commissioning). As an engineer, it is really time consuming, to rebuild the project in each software to work on it, or to export it then correct the errors of the exportation. How about accuracy?

What are your methods and reliable softwares?

Thanks in advance
