Abstract
ABSTRACTThis project explores the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools for effective 3D building modeling and energy analysis. BIM is a computer-based process that unites architectural, structural, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) elements within an integrated model. Autodesk Revit and similar applications are utilized to generate extensive 3D building models, while Autodesk Insight and other applications permit extensive energy performance simulations.The combination of BIM and energy analysis assists in evaluating major parameters like energy usage intensity (EUI), solar gain, heating and cooling loads, and daylight availability. Through the simulation of various design scenarios, material selection, and building orientation, BIM allows architects and engineers to make well informed decisions with the aim of improving energy efficiency and sustainability.This research highlights the advantages of implementing BIM in the initial design stage to locate performance problems and recommend energy-saving enhancements. It also discusses how BIM tools facilitate compliance with green building regulations and certifications. Overall, the project illustrates that BIM is an effective platform not just for precise design and visualization but also for encouraging environmentally friendly and cost-saving building processes. The application of BIM in energy analysis is a milestone in the drive towards smarter, more sustainable built environments.Keywords: Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D Modeling, Energy Analysis, Autodesk Revit, green building
