+**bim2sim** addresses the challenge of leveraging BIM data for building energy simulations, a field with several existing approaches. In our paper [@Jansen2025bim2sim] (currently under review), we conducted a comprehensive analysis of these BIM-to-simulation tools. \autoref{tab:bim2bemApproaches} presents an abbreviated comparative overview of these tools. The complete analysis in the to-be-published paper considers additional dimensions such as IFC version support, space and surface boundary handling, and data enrichment methods. In the abbreviated version shown here, we focus on the most important aspects: simulation domains (BEPS, HVAC), modular architecture, open-source availability, and implementation technologies.
