Tools integrated in BIM software enable the evaluation of the indoor environmental quality already in the early stages of design and its optimization in terms of the whole range of requirements, which can prevent costly errors and undesirable compromises in later stages of design. The aim of this paper is to facilitate architects' orientation in the available tools for BIM analysis of the indoor environment during the design of the building. Within the software environment of the two most frequently used BIM software on the market - Revit and ArchiCAD - tools (native program functions and add-ons) are mapped and compared with the specialized software used solely for assessing individual areas of building physics. The evaluation is illustrated on case studies of two residential buildings in the Czech Republic. The most important feature showed to be the ease of use within the software environment and the possibility of applying the feedback obtained from the software analysis to the architectural design.
