Abstract

Building facade is an integral piece to the overall design of a building, which not only ensures adequate interior thermal comfort, minimizing cooling load rate but also lowering overall building energy consumption. In recent years, aluminum composite material wall (ACM) is a new decorative material that is increasingly being used by developers, designers, and architects, which led to many innovative building facade designs. It is a straightforward and versatile product that provides a weather-resistant, sound-insulation, heat-insulation, earthquake-resistant, and shock-resistant façade that is simple to install. As a result, this study proposes a perfomance of energy simulation with ACM material applied in building design using Building Energy Modeling (BEM). Energy simulation in buildings using a Building Information Modeling (BIM) system is proposed to reduce the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and energy cost of building in its construction process. The results of this study are expected to assist architects and building managers in improving and enhancing the energy efficiency of buildings. These significant findings demonstrate the potential of using ACM wall to improve building energy efficiency.
