Benefits of Building Information Models in Energy Analysis
Laine, Tuomas, Olof Granlund Oy, Helsinki, Finland; Karola, Antti, Olof Granlund Oy, Helsinki, Finland;
The importance of energy analysis in building design has grown, but it is still mostly done by simple static calculations or estimates. Accurate dynamic simulation software have been available already for decades, but these tools are still not widely used by practitioners in building projects. The main barrier of wider usage of dynamic energy analysis has been the required big manual input work. By utilising BIM as a data source for energy analysis, the data input will be more efficient and the existing data more reusable. Only by using BIM, the verification of thermal performance can truly happen in different phases of the building process. This paper describes a new concept and interoperable software environment for management of thermal performance during the whole building life cycle. Real project experiences also show that BIM based environment allows to use whole building spatial simulation instead of traditionally used zone based models.
