So - what is SAM_gbXML? SAM_gbXML

SAM_gbXML is an open-source software tool developed by Michal Dengusiak and Jakub Ziolkowski that enables users to convert building models represented in the gbXML (Green Building XML) one of format to EnergyPlus, Tas EDSL, IES VE LadybugTools input files. Tas EDSL, EnergyPlus, IES is a widely used building energy simulation software that allows designers and engineers to evaluate and optimize the energy performance of buildings.

The gbXML format is a schema for transferring building geometry information between various building design software tools, such as Autodesk Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino. SAM_gbXML aims to simplify the process of converting gbXML files to energy simulation input files, by providing a user-friendly interface and a range of customization options.

With SAM_gbXML, users can easily convert their building models to analytical model input files and simulate their energy performance, allowing them to make informed design decisions and optimize the energy efficiency of their buildings.

To install SAM just download and run SAM Installer, otherwise rebuild it using Visual Studio (VS) SAM and SAM_gbXML
