In the contruction step you see the catalog that’s active for the current project your working in
If it’s the first-time using BIM Energy, then you will only see the default catalog active provided by us. This catalog consists of 8 different typologies that you can choose between, separated by two categories consisting of bad to super-isolated light or heave buildings.
Customize Your Building with Typologies and Materials
Except for the typologies, you also see every individual construction compartment, but also separate materials, windows, heat pumps, solar-panels and more in the catalog.
In the construction-step you have the possibility to define your buildings in detail.
To choose which typology you want to base your building on, just access the drop-down menu on the top of construction-step page and choose which typology you want.
If you are missing certain materials or construction part you can easily add this via our BIM Energy catalog that you can access through the construction-step.
Why switch to BIM Energy?
BIM Energy enables quick, accurate analysis of a building’s energy consumption and cost-saving opportunities for both new constructions and renovations. As a cloud-based platform, it offers flexibility to work from any device, whether Windows or Mac, making energy modeling efficient and accessible anywhere.
Energy Metrics & Savings
Bim Energy’s dynamic core calculates the building’s energy balance hourly over a year, factoring in thermal inertia. It enables multiple energy-saving scenarios and provides full ROI analysis, helping you track payment streams and assess long-term financial value.
Easy to Use
Bim Energy offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface with a simple methodology for easy energy analysis. The streamlined workflow simplifies modeling and analyzing energy scenarios in buildings, with no need for energy expertise. Whether you’re a professional or a beginner, the software makes the entire process simple and accessible.
High Accuracy and Time Efficiency
Bim Energy provides greater accuracy than manual calculations with an ASHRAE-140 validated core. It allows detailed energy modeling with climate, materials, HVAC, and heat pump options. The software offers default values and a material catalog, and enables quick building geometry modeling using an online map tool.
