The Application of Building Information Modelling in Green Building Index for Energy Efficiency Assessment
Energy efficiency (EE) is one of the criteria in the Green Building Index (GBI), and the assessment of EE might be by Building Information Modelling (BIM) feature. BIM is the most powerful tool that can help to assist and digitals each credit of EE criteria in the GBI assessment. However, there is still unwarranted usage of BIM in energy efficiency to digitalize GBI credit. BIM can improve energy consumption by optimizing building orientation, lighting zoning, and ensuring sustainable maintenance. Moreover, adopting the best practices in maintaining the buildings; this includes the use of renewable energy and providing proper testing, commissioning, and regular maintenance. The main objective of this study is to use BIM to evaluate EE for GBI assessment in the New Construction of Non-residential buildings. The study provides insights that would enable designers to understand the relationship between the BIM and GBI criteria for energy efficiency. Thus, which would facilitate the integration of BIM and automate GBI assessment for the Malaysian construction industry. The findings of this study showed that BIM could assess five credits and 25 points in the preconstruction stage by using BIM authoring and analysis tools such as IES-VE software, and four credits and 10 points of the nine credits and 35 points of energy efficiency, respectively, in the post-construction stage.
