This study analyzed the “Systems Analysis” tool, from the Revit 2022 program, for energy simulations. The methodology adopted was the comparative study and the building chosen to be modeled was the Case 600 of the BESTEST (Building Energy Simulation Test), as it already has known results. After data correction through the IDF file generated by the tool, the annual consumption was: 2,1% lower than expected for heating and 3,2% higher for cooling. It was evident that the tool needs corrections in the IDF file for its use. Regarding interoperability, the main differences occurred in the exported schedules and in the dimensions of the building.
