Abstract: As Building Energy Modelling (BIM) is spreading in recent years, some interoperability issues between BIM and dynamic Building Energy Modelling (BEM) are raising. This study performs an investigation considering as a case study two terraced buildings located in Rome. During their early design stage, the tools used for modelling were Revit (BIM platform) and Design Builder (Energy Plus engine). The main difficulties and limitations found in the interface between the two programs are discussed. Some suggestions are proposed in order to improve the interoperability between BIM and BEM models.
