The Brazilian Association of Technical Standards is making an effort since 2009
to standardize necessary elements to a well-done development of the Building Information
Modeling (BIM) in Brazil. Among these efforts, it was recently created a workgroup with
the purpose of give support to the industry in the creation of BIM components that contain
properties and data necessary to an efficient modeling. Consequently, these components will
be ready to be used in specific analyses. One of the predicted analyses is Building Energy
Efficiency. Building Energy Software Tools Directory provides information about 417 building
software tools for evaluating energy efficiency, and EnergyPlus is the best alternative
presented. This work shows the results of the EnergyPlus data analysis in the field of the most
common components in architecture, like doors and windows, and demonstrates the pathway
inside the Input Data Dictionary to find all linked data to the objects used in the input data file.
As a result, it will be presented the information extracting method and the discussions about
the application of the method to extract information about all other components included in
the BIM model.
