Abstract

This article focuses on developing an energy simulation model through Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Building Energy Modeling (BEM)to optimize energy in building design in Vietnam. Reducing the energy consumption in buildings will help reduce operating costs, impact the environment, and increase the efficiency of buildings. However, there is limited research on buildings with complex structures and configurations, detailed surface design, and envelope construction, especially in simulating details through BIM. The author proposes converting from BIM to BEM to simulate energy in buildings and optimize the factors related to building construction in the envelope design of the building. These factors include wall cladding materials, mirror materials, the window ratio on the walls, and other details. This study has effectively created an energy model for a public building, allowing for the calculation of the Energy Intensity Index (EUI) and annual energy costs for various scenarios. By altering factors associated with the design and construction process, the system has the potential to decrease both energy intensity and usage costs for the building. The study results will help designers and building managers improve and enhance energy efficiency in building projects.
