The global building construction consumes a major part of energy productions along with generating a fair some portion of carbon footprint. Although human efforts to create sustainable environment have yielded benefits in achieving comfort for betterment in life but high energy consumption pattens in building is becoming a matter of concern for current sustainable developments. With an increasing the interest on sustainable design and energy efficiency, professionals as well researchers are constantly seeking ways to efficiently analyse and evaluate energy performance of buildings throughout the design process. The current work investigates the impact of building envelop constructed of two different construction materials, conventional clay burnt bricks and innovative Cellular Light Weight Concrete (CLC) blocks, on energy levels of multistorey residential building. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been used to develop the virtual model of the case study in a 3D environment using Revit. The energy analysis was performed using INSIGHT. The conventional construction with bricks achieved energy consumption of 465 kWh/m²/yr whereas CLC blocks achieved 405 kWh/m²/yr. The results show that the CLC blocks have lowered the energy level by 12.90% in light of ASHREA 90.1 standard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
