A sustainable building is constructed of materials that could decrease environmental impacts, such as energy usage, during the life-cycle of the building. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been identified as an effective tool for the virtual analysis of a building's performance in the design stage to determine the designs that have the largest impact on the building's performance. The main aim of this study was to assess the applicability of BIM in analyzing and reducing the energy consumption of buildings. In the design and pre-construction stages, the building information model (BIM)...
