1. 

There are no national approaches allowed to EPC calculations. In EU all assessments are done in similar way for equal comparison.

2. 

Special requirements for BIM modeling are not needed, if inter-operable file-formats are used for the energy simulations.

3. 

EPC calculators are based on equations reflecting the real world phenomena, such as thermodynamic equations.

4. 

BIM enhance EPC assessment especially by

5. 

What benefits are there of fast EPC calculations? 

6. 

BIM cannot be used for EPC assessments in existing buildings.

7. 

In cases IFC-file is directly imported from BIM to energy simulation software, what kind of EPC data can then usually be transferred?

8. 

Utilization of the geometry obtained from the BIM model is one of the biggest denominators for faster EPC assessment.

9. 

What is the abbreviation of the directive behind EPC in the EU?

10. 

Which of the file-formats below enable interoperable transfer of EPC information between different BIM programmes?

11. 

In traditional methods, what barriers exist for comprehensive use of different building energy analysis?
