Abstract
The number of architects who adopt BIM(Building Information Modeling) as the design method are gradually increasing because of its productivity and efficiency. Climate Change and Global Warming lead to legislation of new energy regulations and strengthen existing ones. The current architectural design methods (2D CAD) take a lot of time and effort to verify energy codes and are hard to adjust according to the design changes. The purpose of this study is to show the effectiveness of the BIM in building envelop energy modeling of the housing project. In the process of design method change, We could contribute to increasing productivity and efficiency in building energy verification through BIM because the updated value could be calculated simultaneously without information omission or recalculation process. The procedure for the study is as follows. Using BIM of the Goldin at Essex Crosing Housing Project by Revit 2011 as a case model, this study analyze the criteria for energy plan to conform to the energy code in NYC. The result value from the setting of the Revit model is compared with the reference value required by the NYC Energy Code. Finally, the data from BIM are entered into COMckeck, the energy verification program provided by U.S. Department of Energy, to check whether the building envelope energy performance conforms to NYC Energy Code.
