Catmull clark conversion and reduction of faces

I am trying to convert a sketchup mesh to catmull clark using weaverbird. I was able to do so successfully. However, my faces increased a lot. I want to reduce the number of faces and make them large. The subdivision type must remain catmull clark. Please help.

I have uploaded the 3dm file and the grasshopper file in this Google Drive folder

You can use Evolute TMAP

Or Instant Mesh

I downloaded instant mesh. I am unable to run it as it does not have any .exe file to run.

I will think you don't know a file extension or zip files. I hope you are able to search on the web or there is no hope! So my advice is search on Internet what is a zip file and how to unzip.
