Trano is an innovative Python package that automates the creation of complex Building Energy Simulation (BES) Modelica models from simplified information contained in widely used data formats like YAML, JSON, or RDF. Unlike traditional tools that directly convert BIM to BES, Trano introduces an intermediate step, paving the way for seamless integration with IFC translators.
Trano is Modelica library agnostic but is natively designed to work with:
✅ Validated detailed Modelica libraries (e.g., Buildings, IDEAS,...)
✅ Reduced-order models (e.g., AIXLIB, ISO13790,...)
✅ your library...
- Designed with widespread adoption in mind.
- Optimized for OpenModelica, but also compatible with Dymola.
- Generates both thermal and electrical models.
- Supports building envelope, systems, and electricity.
- Models:
- Envelope (geometry & materials) 🏢
- HVAC systems (emission, hydronic distribution, boilers) ❄️🔥
- Electrical components (PV systems, electrical loads) ⚡
- Generates graphical representations of components & connections 🎭.

- Fully modular design for seamless modifications:
- Envelope 🏠
- Emission 💨
- Hydronic Distribution 🚰
- Production & Electricity ⚡
🚀 With Trano, creating and modifying detailed BES models has never been easier!
