The IBPSA-USA Building Data Exchange (BDE) Committee has been working to address long-standing inconsistencies in Building Energy Modeling (BEM) output reporting. The 2023-2024 project, Review of BPM Protocols and BEM Reporting Output, analyzed reporting requirements across protocols and software, identified 48 categories, and revealed significant fragmentation in how outputs are defined. This work showed that inconsistent terminology and data structures hinder automation efforts, add to reviewer burden, and reduce the usefulness of models for compliance, performance rating, and design-assist applications. Building on these findings, the 2024 project, BEM Compliance Reporting Automation Roadmap, set out a vision for schema-driven reporting and began outreach to Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), software developers, and practitioners, highlighting the need to move from conceptual frameworks to practical schema development, example reports, and active stakeholder engagement.
