“…Clashing between building elements (e.g., overlapping or unconnected walls or floors) is not usually accepted, only some of them do, with limited approach [32,33,38]. For solving the above, some works suggest the use of auxiliary third-party tools (such as Solibri [41]) to audit and fix the model for inconsistencies.…”

“…For renovation and energy audit use-cases, these inputs are becoming more and more popular, and they usually produce BIM models which require cleaning and postprocessing for practical purposes. In some cases dependency of specific commercial tools is stated, either as authoring tool, or as an environment to implement the algorithm as a plugin, e.g., Autodesk Revit [32,33]. Multi-building approach is not targeted.…”

“…for CFD simulations) and the proper identification of space boundaries is not developed [39] or they require properly modelled spaces and nonoverlapping geometries as input [31]. Yang et al [32] do not use this term, but in practice they also propose a graph generation of edges and loops from wall geometries. However, they do not implement a pre-processing step to clean up input complex geometries (even parametric representations and tilted rooftops), neither a postprocessing step at the end to automatically fix potential errors and clashes in the generated surfaces, which is covered herein.…”

The integration between the building information modeling (BIM) methodology and the building energy simulation (BES) can contribute to a thermo-energetic analysis since the model generated and fed into BIM is exported to simulation software. This integration, also called interoperability, is satisfactory when the information flow is carried out without the loss of essential information. Several studies point out interoperability flaws between the methodologies; however, most of them occur in low-geometry-complexity models during quantitative experiments. The purpose of this research was to analyze the BIM/BES integration based on a quantitative and interpretative interoperability analysis of two buildings with complex geometries located on the UFU Campus (library and Building 5T) in Uberlândia, Brazil. To accomplish this, two geometries of each building were modeled, detailed, and simplified to analyze the data import, workflow, and model correction in the BES software. In the case of the library, the integration of Revit with DesignBuilder and IES-VE was analyzed, and in Block 5T, Revit was used with DesignBuilder and eQUEST. The BES software that presented the best integration with Revit for complex geometries was DesignBuilder, with the best performance being in the interpretative criteria. It was concluded that the simplification of complex geometries is essential for better data transfers. To determine the BES software that has better integration with BIM, a comprehensive evaluation is necessary, considering not only data transfers but also ease of working within BES software, the possibility of corrections in these, as well as the availability of tutorials and developer support.

“…The results showed that the proposed workflow can improve the original model integrity and the energy simulation stability. Carvalho and Almeida [33] combined BIM and the Building Sustainability Assessment method (BSA) to improve the efficiency of building sustainability and used this approach to achieve the evaluation of the SBToolPT-H energy efficiency category. Pereira and Santos [34] made a systematic literature review to assess the current level of BIM adoption for building energy optimization.…”

Using Regression Model to Develop Green Building Energy Simulation by BIM Tools

et al. 2022

Energy consumption in the building sector poses a huge burden in terms of global energy and pollution. Recent advancements in building information modelling and simulating building energy performance (BEP) have provided opportunities for energy optimization. The use of building information modelling (BIM) also has increased significantly in the last decade based on the requirement to accommodate and manage data in buildings. By using the data, some building information modelling tools have developed the function of energy analysis. This paper aims to identify design parameters critical to BEP to assist architects in the initial stages of building design and to investigate their relationship. The outcomes of the prototype model’s energy simulations were then used to construct multilinear regression models. For the rest of the independent building design variables, linear regression models are used to analyse the relationship between it and energy consumption. It was concluded that, in the same building conditions, diamond-shaped buildings have the highest energy consumption, while triangle-shaped buildings showed the most efficient energy performance through energy simulations for seven fundamental prototype building models based on Autodesk Kits, Green Building Studio (GBS) with a Doe-2 engine. In addition, the developed regression models are validated to within 10% error via a case study of the ABS building. At the end of this paper, recommendations are provided on energy optimisation for the initial stages of building design. The parametric analysis of design variables in this study contributed to the total energy consumption at the early phases of design and recommendations on energy optimization.
