Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design - The Development of an Assessment System Based on a Green BIM Template

Abstract

To construct a building that meets the requirements of certification in terms of environmental friendliness, there must be a process that considers the certification criteria from the initial design phase. However, there are numerous complicated task performance procedures to analyse many required items in detail as well as perceive and apply the data requirements efficiently. Currently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is gaining attention as a solution for environmental problems in architecture. BIM shows precisely how a virtual building is modelled in the real world, thereby providing an objective information and analysis through a simulation. However, the result values of BIM library or modelling may turn out differently as a result of the work environment of designers or users that is not standardized. Therefore, this study applies the modelled and extracted BIM data using the template and library established in the BIM add-in planning and design phase to review in advance the Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design (G-SEED) assessment by item and manual input of users with the BIMbased (add-in) G-SEED assessment system, thereby providing support to enable users to establish specific strategies in designing green buildings.
