This paper presents the research efforts that seek to improve the efficiency of conducting advanced thermal simulations in the detailed design stage of the design process. A prototype for an application that facilitates a quick and inexpensive setup of EnergyPlus (EP) models of Danish office buildings was developed in a co-creation process involving simulation practitioners. The prototype is designed to mitigate barriers to migrating from current tools to EP; however, further research is needed to investigate this aspect.
