The paper outlines a process that enables design engineers to create HVAC system representations using industry standard terminology and system, icon and typological representations and convert that unified representation into the format required by the whole building energy simulation tool EnergyPlus. This paper describes each stage of the conversion process, which involves transformations between the following representations: 1) engineer&#039;s representation, 2) component connectivity representation, 3) representation in the internal data model used in the Simergy graphical user interface for EnergyPlus, and 4) EnergyPlus representation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The paper also describes mappings between these representations and the development of a rule-based validation and assignment framework required to implement that mapping. In addition, the paper describes the implementation of this process in Simergy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-5565E</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vladimir Bazjanac</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tobias Maile</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cody Rose</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">James O&#039;Donnell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natasa Mrazovic</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elmer Morrissey</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Welle, Benjamin</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An Assessment of the use of Building Energy Performance Simulation in Early Design</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IBPSA Building Simulation 2011</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sydney, Australia</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vladimir Bazjanac</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tobias Maile</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">James O&#039;Donnell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cody Rose</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natasa Mrazovic</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Enviroments and Processing in Sem-Automated Simulation with EnergyPlus</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CIB W078-W102</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sophia Antipolis, France</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">James O&#039;Donnell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Richard See</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cody Rose</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tobias Maile</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vladimir Bazjanac</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Philip Haves</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SimModel: A domain data model for whole building energy simulation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IBPSA Building Simulation 2011</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Many inadequacies exist within industry-standard data models as used by present-day whole-building energy simulation software. Tools such as EnergyPlus and DOE-2 use custom schema definitions (IDD and BDL respectively) as opposed to standardized schema definitions (defined in XSD, EXPRESS, etc.). Non-standard data modes lead to a requirement for application developers to develop bespoke interfaces. Such tools have proven to be error prone in their implementation – typically resulting in information loss. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This paper presents a Simulation Domain Model (SimModel) - a new interoperable XML-based data model for the building simulation domain. SimModel provides a consistent data model across all aspects of the building simulation process, thus preventing information loss. The model accounts for new simulation tool architectures, existing and future systems, components and features. In addition, it is a multi-representation model that enables integrated geometric and MEP simulation configuration data. The SimModel objects ontology moves away from tool-specific, non-standard nomenclature by implementing an industry-validated terminology aligned with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first implementation of SimModel supports translations from IDD, Open Studio IDD, gbXML and IFC. In addition, the EnergyPlus Graphic User Interface (GUI) employs SimModel as its internal data model. Ultimately, SimModel will form the basis for a new IFC Model View Definition (MVD) that will enable data exchange from HVAC Design applications to Energy Analysis applications. Extensions to SimModel could easily support other data formats and simulations (e.g. Radiance, COMFEN, etc.).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-5566E</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tobias Maile</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vladimir Bazjanac</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">James O&#039;Donnell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matthew Garr</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A software tool to compare measured and simulated building energy performance data</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IBPSA Building Simulation 2011</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sydney, Australia</style></pub-location><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Building energy performance is often inadequate when compared to design goals. To link design goals to actual operation one can compare measured with simulated energy performance data. Our previously developed comparison approach is the Energy Performance Comparison Methodology (EPCM), which enables the identification of performance problems based on a comparison of measured and simulated performance data. In context of this method, we developed a software tool that provides graphing and data processing capabilities of the two performance data sets. The software tool called SEE IT (Stanford Energy Efficiency Information Tool) eliminates the need for manual generation of data plots and data reformatting. SEE IT makes the generation of time series, scatter and carpet plots independent of the source of data (measured or simulated) and provides a valuable tool for comparing measurements with simulation results. SEE IT also allows assigning data points on a predefined building object hierarchy and supports different versions of simulated performance data. This paper briefly introduces the EPCM, describes the SEE IT tool and illustrates its use in the context of a building case study.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-6184E</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vladimir Bazjanac</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tobias Maile</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IFC HVAC interface to EnergyPlus - A case of expanded interoperability for energy simulation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SimBuild 2004</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2004</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">08/2004</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boulder, CO</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><call-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL/PUB-907</style></call-num><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Simulation Research Group&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL/PUB-907</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vladimir Bazjanac</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tobias Maile</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IFC HVAC Interface to EnergyPlus: A Case of Expanded Interoperability for Energy Simulation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SimBuild 2004, Building Sustainability and Performance Through Simulation</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2004</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">08/2004</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boulder, Colorado, USA</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record></records></xml>
