Abstract

Green and sustainable buildings are considered the most prevalent topics in architecture and design field according to their importance in preserving the natural environment and minimizing the damage caused by building construction leadership. Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Green Building Information Modeling (Green BIM) have been emerged for ease of handling of the building in different phases such as: design, implementation, occupancy and maintenance, as well as complete visualization of the building's components and its impact on the surrounding natural environment. Also BOQ schedules, schedules of specifications and time schedule of the project, which ensures the speed of implementation and the lack of errors and damage in the implementation phase and ease of maintenance process in the occupancy phase. The purpose of this research is to review the concept of green and sustainable architecture and its Building Information Modeling (BIM) to ensure the efficiency and design of the building and its suitability in the design. Also study the Design Builder Program as one of the Green BIM programs in the simulation of a residential building to study Energy Consumption - CO2 emission rate – Thermal Comfort. The methodology includes reviewing the literature for sustainable and green architecture and Building Information Modeling (BIM) programs in addition to a practical study of a Residential unit to study its effect on the surrounding environment in terms of energy consumption rate - thermal comfort - the rate of CO2 emissions.
