ABSTRACT
The building information modeling (BIM) methodology used in the construction, architecture, and engineering sectors may be a vital way to optimize building efficiency and decrease the sectors’ ecological effects. Given the request for more energyefficient constructions, it is significant to use the BIM-based BEM method. Thus, designers are able to compare and identify diverse sustainable scenarios at the first step of the plan, thereby conserving money, time, and other resources. Due to the rising environmental concerns over the last several years, sustainable and green constructions have become more popular. Buildings now account for a sizeable portion of global energy use and are a substantial source of greenhouse gas emissions throughout 50the course of their lifetimes. Constructing green buildings can be a laborious process to implement several sustainable design criteria, but incorporating BIM into the planning can make the process easier.
In this research, BIM is used to evaluate the sustainability of a harbor house’s construction. In the city of Çanakkale, Turkey, this study is done to investigate the energy-efficiency benefits of using different building and insulation materials for constructing a green harbor home. In addition, this study focused on the contribution of environmental waste to energy efficiency in buildings by considering recycled insulation materials. According to the investigation, there was an energy savings of around 2.44% between the highest and the lowest energy-efficient types when compared to designed types with different insulation and construction materials. Therefore, sustainability judgments about the design can be made using this method since various design possibilities may easily be developed within the conceptual phase itself.
