Description
Summary:Against the background of the global concern for environmental protection and the prevalence of the green building concept, the requirements for building design are increasing, as are the technological content and functional requirements. Meanwhile, the urgency to address challenges related to the ecological environment and performance requirements has become increasingly pronounced. Taking a dormitory building in China as an example. Autodesk Revit 2018 software is employed in this study to establish a building information modeling (BIM). Green building software (GBSWARE) simulates and analyzes outdoor wind environment, indoor thermal comfort, calculates building energy conservation, does daylighting analysis, and calculates building daylighting. Although the building’s energy-saving design aligns with the requirements, the lighting and indoor thermal comfort of the rooms do not meet the standards. Additionally, the outdoor wind environment has problems with the wind zone and a wind speed amplification coefficient that surpasses the limit. The thermal environment within the residential building fails to satisfy the requirements. This study leverages a BIM-based model for multifaceted applications, integrating tailored retrofit strategies that align with the building’s inherent characteristics and detailed analyses of its components. By harnessing the building’s energy-saving potential, it enhances energy use efficiency, offering a valuable reference for the conceptual design of green buildings and energy-efficient retrofits.
