Building Information Modeling-Embedded Building Energy Efficiency Protocol for a Sustainable Built Environment and Society

Abstract

In order to accurately analyze the building energy consumption and identify the problem of building energy consumption in advance, this study carries out the energy consumption analysis based on BIM (Building Information Modeling). The research object is a four-story college student dormitory in Beijing, and this set of BIM-based energy consumption simulation data was obtained using standard operating procedures (SOP). This operating procedure can start energy consumption analysis in the conceptual design stage, and developers can participate in real-time through the use of a three-dimensional information model, without additional design required. Then, comparing this study with the traditional energy consumption analysis, we see that the SOP of this research result has the following advantages: SOP function analysis is more professional, and the visual display method is more popular and intuitive; due to the flexible file format of the SOP, when data exchange is required between different software, the SOP can realize more convenient operation, and users can identify problems in the early stage of design through the SOP, correcting the scheme according to the simulation results, which is conducive to the development of the construction process. Finally, this study puts forward the analysis and estimation of energy consumption in different stages of the building life cycle, so as to provide researchers with ideas for improvement .

Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) Framework: A Current Review, Update and Discussion

“…Using the BIM platform, project stakeholders can exchange engineering information in real-time and work together, consequently improving work efficiency, saving resources, reducing costs and achieving sustainable development [48,49]. Furthermore, BIM could also improve automated information analysis for different project phases [50].…”

Diachronic and Synchronic Analysis for Knowledge Creation: Architectural Representation Geared to XR Building Archaeology (Claudius-Anio Novus Aqueduct in Tor Fiscale, the Appia Antica Archaeological Park)

“…Despite this contribution, policy and strategy documents give little attention to the existing urban areas. Even if the applied research in the digital cultural heritage (DCH) domain is growing [3][4][5], the knowledge available on its challenges and solutions remains limited. In this context, the Appia Antica Archaeological Park and the Politecnico di Milano collaborated to define a process that can support the restoration of the Roman aqueducts in the Tor Fiscale Park.…”
