Integrating Green Building Technologies with Energy Modelling Tools in Urban Construction

Abstract

This paper investigates the application of green construction methods and modern energy modeling in holistic approaches to urban building technologies. The purpose is to demonstrate that this combination enhances building operations, mitigates ecological impacts, and promotes urban sustainability. We assess recent literature (2000-2021) on mainstream green construction policies and energy simulation techniques. The approach incorporates a proposal for integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) with dynamic energy simulation software for Lifecycle assessment. Results show substantial decreases in energy use and operational expenditures, along with improved indoor environmental quality. This work emphasizes the importance of integrated design processes for realizing transformative urban sustainability targets and for strategic planning of sustainable urban infrastructure.
