(no german version available) Recent developments in building planning and delivery processes point to increased deployment of BIM (Building Information Modelling) and corresponding tools in the AEC (Architecture-Engineering-Construction) domain. BIM is understood as digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility that can offer a reliable informational basis for decisions throughout a building´s life cycle in different domains. Given this context, the present contribution addresses data transfer from commonly used BIM-software environments and a specialized simulation tool for thermal bridge analysis in view of heat flow, surface temperatures, condensation, and mould growth risk. Interestingly, much of the input data required for such in-depth assessments is already available in basic design models. However, there is a paucity of related fully functional data transfer solutions. This paper documents and evaluates data transfer issues based on sample building details. The objective is thereby to support software developers toward a better integration of state-of-the-art assessment methods in building design.
