Abstract
In recent years, green buildings have gradually attract attention in the world. Energy-saving design is a important item in it. At present, lots of designers refer to or make use of some existing energy-saving designs without knowing the actual effects of the designs. The level of energy-saving of a building design can be scientifically evaluated and simulated using energy simulation software (e.g., eQUEST energyplus, Ecotect, etc.),but use energy simulation software is a troublesome and time-consuming work. However, there is demands for creating a baseline to determine between good and bad, or getting LEED EA Credit 1 points, but it also is a troublesome and time-consuming work.
The other hand, BIM(Building Information Modeling) gradually become maturity, and there is some construction-related companies use it whether in domestic or foreign. This research apply BIM(use Autodesk Revit) to connecting energy simulation software(use eQUEST), even though there is some software can apply BIM to connecting energy simulation software, like Green Building Studio(GBS) or Ecotect. Because some problems of agreement by the world, LEED EA credit 1 don''t accept the two software.
This research apply BIM with programming language and database to develop a prototype system. This research design procedures for dealing all BIM''s data, let user can immediately realize the level of energy-saving and LEED EA Credit 1 points, and then provide building''s owner with choice of appropriate design.
This research display and operate the prototype system in expert interviews, so expert can easily understand this research ''s idea, and then This research let expert comment "If the prototype system is completely developed, how about the practicability of the system?". The result is the system will reduce huge time of design while buildings need to determine between good and bad or get LEED certification.
