To overcome the challenges posed by the manual transfer of room and project information
project information, a solution was developed that includes both a technical solution and an optimised process.
optimised process. As part of this approach, a PythonScript was created,
that uses an existing IFC model as a source. In addition, the script guides the
project manager through the required information inputs using a user-friendly
user-friendly interface. Subsequently, on the basis of the queries made
The Minergie Excel is then completed for all rooms in the project based on the queries made. A
subsequent project-specific control of the expenditure by the project manager is necessary for the
is essential for use as a standard-compliant verification for summer thermal insulation in accordance with SIA 180.

In order to ensure that the models used can be optimally utilised, care was taken to
to work exclusively with the Base Quantities in IFC. This approach ensures that
the programme can be used universally and is not tied to specific IFC properties.
By automating the process and integrating an existing IFC model, the source of error that is
minimises the source of errors that can arise when manually selecting critical spaces.
