BIM to BEM: Early Design Process Collaboration and Application

BIM technology currently has been used not only during construction document stage, but also during initial stage. The good implementation of the BIM to BEM will enhance collaboration process among architect, engineer and energy modeler. However, the application in projects is still limited. The presentation will explore interoperability between BIM and BEM and collaboration among disciplines in early stage. Additionally, how the simulation results can drive better performance building and provide faster opportunities to identify different energy efficiency measures will be highlighted using case studies to show the implementation and lesson learned from the process.
