  • Adapt boundaries according local (Switzerland) standard for energy analysis.
  • Translate gathered information in simpler xml format to be used by energy analysis software.
  • Supported schema versions : 2x3, 4, 4.3
  • Supported file formats :
Name Extension MIMEType
IFC-SPF (STEP) .ifc application/x-step
ifcXML .ifcXML application/xml
ifcZIP .ifcZIP application/zip
