14. A computer readable storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform a method of automatically translating and transforming a building architecture file format to a simulation file, comprising: extracting from a building architecture file, data and metadata used by a target simulation tool; creating interoperability data objects and storing the extracted data in the interoperability data objects; preparing a model translation procedure to identify a mapping from a Model View Definition to a translation and transformation function; transforming the extracted data using the data stored in the interoperability data objects, an input Model View Definition template, and the translation and transformation function to convert the extracted data to correct geometric values needed for a target simulation file format used by the target simulation tool; and generating the simulation file in the target simulation file format, wherein the preparing of the model translation procedure comprises: creating translation function definitions; and filling in the translation and transformation function with data of the one or more interoperability data objects, wherein the translating and transforming function comprises: a function to perform geometric transformation of data values stored in the interoperability data objects to specific building simulation models by converting the data values to geometric values based on at least offset, clipping, and rotation to represent a placement on an energy simulation model file; logic to perform the transforming of the extracted data stored in the interoperability data objects into the target simulation file format; and a function to fill in the module view definition template with the converted geometric values for the simulation file in the target simulation file format.
18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the interoperability data objects represent a set of selected building objects needed to generate a target simulation file used by the target simulation tool.
