gbXML 포맷을 활용한 EnergyPlus 냉난방부하 계산용 도구개발

BIM(Building Information Modeling) becomes a big issue in building industry, Korean government also encourages application of BIM, making adoption of BIM compulsory in public building construction if its construction budget is over 50 billion won. Considering this situation, the objective of this study was set to develop an interface software for building thermal load calculation converting a gbXML(GreenBuildingXML) file format to IDF(EnergyPlus input file) file format. Microsoft visual studio 2010 was used as a software development kit to develop this stand alone software. The developed software supports 'TreeView' mode to show and investigate tree structure of gbXML file and enables to select specific elements to be transferred from gbXML to IDF. The developed software showed stable file converting performance, transferring elements such as building information, object geometry and zone. As a follow-up study, a HVAC set-up interface for EnergyPlus is also being developed, and developed interfaces will be integrated as an another 3rd party software for EnergyPlus.
