USING BIM MODELING FOR THE CALCULATION OF HEAT LOSSES AND GENERAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY AT THE DESIGN STAGE

Abstract

Problem statement. The issue of energy efficiency is one of the key problems in the construction industry. Increasing attention to this aspect has led to the development of new technologies and tools to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. One of the powerful software complexes for BIM modeling is Revit. The program has built-in tools for analysis. One such tool is Energy Analysis and the My Insight application in Revit software. This tool allows you to calculate the energy consumption of the building and its energy efficiency. With its help, you can perform an analysis of the building's energy consumption in different seasons and under different operating conditions. To achieve energy efficiency of the building in Revit, you can choose materials and change their thermal characteristics or choose materials that have high energy efficiency and durability, develop new material connection nodes and calculate their heat loss. The use of energy-saving technologies, such as energy-efficient windows, solar panels and others, allows you to take into account the contribution of these technologies to the overall energy consumption of the building using the same Insight application that is relevant today. The purpose of this work is to increase the energy efficiency of the house at the design stage using the ВIM model with the help of the Insight cloud service. Conclusions. Energy efficiency improvements in Revit software and its Insight application help reduce building energy consumption and reduce heating and air conditioning costs. This not only helps save the planet's resources, but also reduces costs for building owners. Using these tools allows you to create energy-efficient and climate-resistant buildings, which is an important task in today's world.
