这篇论文是第一篇两篇报道美国海军陆战队研究项目RP-1468结果的论文。本文概述了该项目以及最终报告中包含的三卷文件（Clayton等人，2013年）。该项目的目的是为开发软件提供参考模型和指南，以自动创建热模型，从建筑信息模型到建筑能源模拟（BES），用于能源模拟。本文描述了研究方法，并介绍了指南的要点。在建筑设计过程中，能源模拟的各种用途导致了从BIM中提取的几种不同类型的热模型的差异。ASeries 2，Level 1模型在设计的示意图阶段解决了整个建筑的能源问题，并发展成一套指南。 建议使用封闭元素的中心线来确定热表面的面积。对于解决曲面、着色元素和场地元素，提出了各种建议。最终报告（Clayton et al.2013）中给出了详细的敏感性研究和分析，为该指南提供了支持。这项调查确定了未来改进能量模拟工具和BIM工具的工作。引文:2016年冬季会议，佛罗里达州奥兰多，2016年交易，第122卷第。1.

This paper is the first two that report on the results ofASHRAE Research Project RP-1468. This paper presents anoverview of the project and the three volumes of documentationincluded in the final report (Clayton et al. 2013). The purposeof the project was to produce reference models and guidelinesfor developing software to automate thermal model creationfromabuilding informationmodelintoabuilding energy simulation(BES) for energy simulations. This paper describes themethods of the research and presents highlights of the guidelines.The variety of uses for energy simulation in the buildingdesign process leads to a differentiation of several differentkinds of thermal models that may be extracted from a BIM. ASeries 2, Level 1 model that addresses whole-building energyuse at schematic stages of design is developed into a set ofguidelines. A recommendation is to use the centerlines ofenclosure elements to determine areas of thermal surfaces.Various recommendations are made for resolving curvedsurfaces, shading elements, and site elements. The guidelinesare supported by detailed sensitivity studies and analysis,presented in the final report (Clayton et al. 2013). The investigationsled to identification of future work to improve energysimulation tools and BIM tools.
