Assessment of the Effect of Architecture Morphology on Building Energy Demands Using BIM, Example of Kabul City Residential Buildings
Architecture morphology as a wide concept encompasses all aspect of building design like form, shape, windows, etc., and all these constituents have a vital role in building energy demands. Considering the rapid growth of urbanization and human activities, ecosystem is faced with destruction. Buildings as the most resource consumer take the first position in ecosystem demolition.
Buildings morphological analysis is one of the methods to assess buildings energy demands and to provide the opportunity to select the most favorable morphology. This study aims to assess architecture morphology on residential building energy efficiency using BEM in Kabul city.
In this study, we made an effort to review most of the energy efficiency analysis associated with the literature. Consequently Revit Architecture 2018 for 3D modeling and Green Building Studio GBS as the whole building energy simulation engine that estimates the building energy performance based on the effects and interactions of building form, materials, systems, usage, and climate were utilized. Kabul city was selected as the case study of this work. The findings of this study show that old or courtyard houses are characterized by the most energy-efficient morphology compared to the three main types of building morphology located in Kabul city. The buildings morphology has a significant impact on building energy demand and, the comparison of three buildings morphology in Kabul city confirmed that the building morphology could decrease energy demand up to 44%.
