Effective BIM to BEM through Project Team Collaboration

Project teams are having to use multiple software platforms for various reasons (BIM, energy, daylight, etc…) so one software package may never do it all.  But there are commonalities that can be leveraged on each project to ensure successful delivery. Hence, it can be argued that seamless interoperability is unlikely to be universally successful or widely adopted, and may actually stifle creative workflows.  Rather, the success of BIM to BEM will need to focus on collaboration that results in a project-specific BIM to BEM workflow between relevant team members.  This session will outline a framework for this successful collaboration.
