In order to provide an integrated building design system that easily can be adapted by building designers, the Danish Building Research Institute has developed such system. It is based on experience gained as participant in the European COMBINE projects and from development of building energy simulation tools. The intention is that a number of computer tools for building design and analyses shares information about the buildings that they analyse, and that data for the building geometry can be provided by a CAD system. Recently two Danish consulting engineering companies have tested the system on building projects in practice. INTRODUCTION One of the main obstacles in using advanced computer models for building analyses, such as analyses of thermal or daylight conditions, is the work required to prepare input data for the models. However, many such data used by different models are similar and should therefore be shared among the tools. The EU JOULE COMBINE projects [Augenbroe, 1995] were among the first international projects with relevance for the building industry to adopt the then emerging ISO STEP standard [ISO 10303-1, 1992] for data exchange of product model data (Figure 1). The scope of the projects were to develop prototypical demonstrations of an Integrated Building Design System, where data integration between architectural and engineering design tools facilitates a more intense, efficient, and fault tolerant use of the tools. The COMBINE projects succeeded in developing and demonstrating the functionality of integrated building design systems. However, it was clear that such comprehensive systems face a problem with complexity, which influences the required effort for development work as well as the efficiency of using the final system. The Danish Building Research Institute (SBI) participated in the COMBINE projects as a supplier of the institute’s tsbi3 program as one of the design tools that were available within the integrated design system. tsbi3 is a program for dynamic building thermal analysis [Johnsen and Grau, 1994]. In order to provide an integrated building design system that easily can be adapted by building designers, SBI has developed a building design system that is limited, integrated and pragmatic. The system is called Data Integrated System (DIS). The development is based on experiences gained by developing tsbi3 and as a participant in the COMBINE projects. The evolution of SBI’s building energy simulation tool is shown in Figure 1.
