Traditional energy analysis in Building Information Modeling (BIM) only accounts for the energy requirements of building operations during a portion of the occupancy phase of the building’s life cycle and as such is unable to quantify the true impact of buildings on the environment. Specifically, the typical energy analysis in BIM does not account for the energy associated with resource formation, recycling, and demolition. Therefore, a comprehensive method is required to analyze the true environmental impact of buildings. Emergy analysis can offer a holistic approach to account for the environmental cost of activities involved in building construction and operation in all its life cycle phases from resource formation to demolition. As such, the integration of emergy analysis with BIM can result in the development of a holistic sustainability performance tool. Therefore, this study aimed at developing a comprehensive framework for the integration of emergy analysis with existing Building Information Modeling tools. The proposed framework was validated using a case study involving a test building element of 8’ × 8’ composite wall. The case study demonstrated the successful integration of emergy analysis with Revit®2021 using the inbuilt features of Revit and external tools such as MS Excel. The framework developed in this study will help in accurately determining the environmental cost of the buildings, which will help in selecting environment-friendly building materials and systems. In addition, the integration of emergy into BIM will allow a comparison of various built environment alternatives enabling designers to make sustainable decisions during the design phase.

During the previous two decades, the energy saving potential using systematic building management is considered to be important which should be considered through the building lifecycle. Among the wide range types of different buildings, Public buildings are considered as one of the biggest energy-consuming sector in the world and major part of this amount is used by the air conditioning system especially in tropical climates. The most effective decisions related to sustainable design of a building facility are made in the feasibility and early design stages. Building Information Modeling (BIM) can expedite this process and provide the opportunity of testing and assessing different design alternatives and materials selection that may impact on energy performance of buildings. This paper aims at evaluating the efficiency of various types of wall materials with regard to theirs properties on energy saving. The case study in this paper is modeled by means of BIM application and then simulated by software, which is appropriate for energy analysis. The current energy consumption patterns of this case identified and shifted to the optimized level of energy usages by changing the walls materials to find most optimized of walls materials. Modification most optimized wall materials and energy analysis indicated 9347 Wh in Per meter square of electrical energy saving.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar métodos de integração da plataforma Building information Modeling (BIM) no processo de simulação termo energética de edificações militares, para obtenção de Etiqueta Nacional de Conservação de Energia (ENCE) pelo Regulamento Técnico da Qualidade para o Nível de Eficiência Energética de Edificações (RTQ-C). A justificativa se dá pelo fato de o Exército Brasileiro (EB) ser obrigado a obter ENCE Nível “A” e a utilizar BIM em seus projetos, conformes normativas e leis brasileiras expressas no trabalho. Primeiro, buscou-se utilizar o Autodesk Revit para realizar a simulação, que é o software adotado pelo EB para elaboração de projetos em BIM, mais especificamente os plug-ins Energy Analysis e Green Building Studio. Devido a limitações encontradas, uma segunda fase procurou maneiras de fazer interoperabilidade entre Autodesk Revit e softwares de simulação, como o EnergyPlus, o Integrated Environmental Solutions Virtual Environment (IES-VE) e o DesignBuilder. Dentre essas opções, concluiu-se que o uso do Revit interoperável com DesignBuilder é mais adequado à análise de projetos do EB. Por fim, foi explicado como se dá a interoperabilidade entre esses dois últimos softwares e como se processará a simulação para obtenção de ENCE.

The European building industry is facing a strong increase of renovation processes, which are still non-cost-effective, involve unproperly coordinated stakeholders, are disturbing for the occupants, and imply important inefficiencies of the overall renovation process. In this context, digitalization and Building Information Modeling (BIM), as an enabler, is the key challenge that may drive the renovation interventions to ensure a successful process covering the whole value chain of actors to achieve its full potential. This research describes the OpenBIM methodology applied to transform the implicit knowledge from the stakeholders involved in a building renovation process into an IDDS digital process.
