The objective of this study is to address the impact of the choice of assessment tool for predicting the thermal load of buildings during the initial stages of the design process. To do so, reference models were defined as 5 archetypes developed based on the INI-C method with predicted evaluation for the climatic context of bioclimatic zones 1, 3, and 8. The assessment was carried out through three energy consumption estimation tools: computer simulation with EnergyPlus software, metamodel, and DEO platform. The results showed greater similarity between the first two methods and greater disparity in the results obtained using the DEO platform. In addition, it can be observed that there is a need for further research on the feasibility of a realistic simulation process in the early stages of design and that the prediction of building performance can vary depending on numerous factors, including the evaluation method and the representativeness of the input data used for this prediction.
