Show full item recordAbstract
This paper discusses the potential to use an Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)/Building
Information Modelling (BIM) based method to undertake Building Energy Performance
analysis of an academic building. BIM/IFC based methodology provides a mechanism for
providing quick and cost-effective feedback to building users. The paper discusses the need
for IFC and BIM-based analysis of existing buildings. A case study of Building Energy
Performance Analysis of an academic building is presented with a detailed discussion on
various interventions undertaken to calibrate the model. The paper concludes that BIM/IFC
based approaches provide a feasible alternative to conduct energy analysis of existing
buildings provided various correlations are built into the model.
