&lt;p&gt;At present there is no facility within OpenBuildings to create the idf file with the additional parameters needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However once you create the idf using other interfaces, you can import as shown in screenshot below, and assign to rooms in the project in HVAC manager. Please note that OpenBuildings uses EnergyPlus V8.0, so V8.0 idf files must be used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most suitable approach may be to take the idf file from your OpenBuildings project and then modify/run externally using EnergyPlus V8.00.&lt;/p&gt;

Thank you. Also is there some package in the simulation that can assist in this type of co-simulation:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/8-3/external-interfaces-application-guide/fmu-examples.html"&gt;bigladdersoftware.com/.../fmu-examples.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Can we export the building model designed in Open buildings to an idf format ?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/617721?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2020 11:53:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:f0a96771-d99d-4f61-8bb0-c8f5edfa7c21</guid><dc:creator>Marc Thomas</dc:creator><description>&lt;div&gt;Yes, IDF is the file type used by Energyplus, so one is automatically created in the Workset folder when you run a Simulation:&lt;/div&gt;
