Abstract

Building information modeling (BIM) and green building are currently two major trends in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, so, to achieve the efficient energy consumption in Office buildings, which consume a large amount of energy compared to other building types, Sustainable buildings are the best choice. This research aims to identify several sustainable designs that can improving the energy performance of office building by using simulation programs (BIM) such as Revit Architecture 2018, Green Building Studio. Administrative building of Faculty of engineering at Mansoura is chosen to be the case study to demonstrate which materials have helped in reducing the energy use of the building. At the end, alternative, sustainable designs suggested for more energy savings
