Problem: Quite strange to see that complex problems of geometry representation are solved successfully but easy data mapping isn't. If materials in gbXML and IDC are presented with all properties, those properties must be presented in OS (not only thickness and U-value). The same for constructions (for windows as well). Heating and cooling setpoints may be imported as constant schedules instead of ignoring. Rationale: OS is not a "full-cycle" program, most of geometry is created in much more suitable software and interoperability with this soft would be significant advantage. Export results for heating and cooling loads and airflow in gbXML - why not? Solution: both gbXML and IFC have explicit schema and names for considered parameters. Map those to OS data and we avoid a lot of manual rework.
