Integrating Building Information Modelling and Geographic Information System to Achieve Energy Efficiency in Buildings and Urban Areas

Climate change and global warming are the biggest challenges facing world. They caused by different human activities, especially in urban areas, such as construction, industry transport. The research explores possibility of integrating new technological tools process construction planning phases with aim reducing energy consumption increasing efficiency at level building, neighbourhood, city to achieve sustainable development. starts reviewing literature that addresses importance It also identifies two tools: building information modelling (BIM) geographic system (GIS). Then, it their ability enhance rationalise improve built environment levels. reviews analyses several case studies have applied these raise efficiency. aims identifying required data (input output), steps, procedures necessary apply In conclusion, proposes guidelines for integrated use BIM GIS areas. defines main actions requirements perform an assessment input output GIS. Applying methodologies, whether or existing neighbourhoods, will significantly contribute conservation, reduce harmful emissions, preserve environment,
