Energy efficient building design model

The fact that almost half of the energy consumption is due to buildings and the global energy bottleneck makes energy efficient design in the building sector increasingly important. To this end, the energy analysis process is incorporating into the early stages of the design process with increasing regulations all over the world. Building Information Modeling-BIM tools, designers, final design solutions before starting to implement; these are digital processes that enable the creation of energy efficient buildings, experience of different design alternatives of the project, effective use of time and cost. In order to control the energy consumption in the buildings, the use of these processes should become widespread. The aim of this thesis to design the building in line with the energy-efficient design parameters at the early design stage, and to integrate energy-efficient systems into the building at this stage to determine the saving rate to be provided in the amount of energy consumption. At the same time, the benefits of incorporating BIM and Building Energy Modeling-BEM processes into the design are indicated. Energy efficient design parameters; the parameters related to the user, the external environment and the building were divided into three. The use of renewable energy sources in buildings has been evaluated by specifying energy efficient systems including passive and active systems. Accordingly, the energy efficient building design is modeled through an application example for the hot-humid climate type in light of the energy-efficient design parameters and energy-efficient systems. Within the scope of the model, a reference building has been established to compare the energy-efficient alternative and the energy consumption amounts. Different alternatives of the parameters affecting the energy performance of the building were evaluated through the reference building. Energy-efficient building has been created by creating a combination that minimizes energy consumption among these alternatives. In the modeling, only the most influential of many parameters were examined and had to be studied by acting with program restrictions. Autodesk Revit, the BIM software, was used in the modeling process. The model was transferred to Green Building Studio-GBS for the analyzes of energy performance and evaluation of design alternatives. In this way, the BEM process of the model has been completed. GBS is a web-based energy modeling software that works in an integrated manner with Revit and is becoming increasingly popular. At the same time, for the energy efficent building, Autodesk Insight software was used as a guide for making appropriate design decisions. As a result of energy performance analyzes, According to the reference building with the implementation of energy efficient design decisions; electricity consumption and fuel consumption improved by %56.7 and %89, respectively. These results show that the energy-efficient building designed according to the climate type can provide considerable energy savings during the life cycle in the amount of energy consumption.
