1. A Comparison of Building Energy Performance Simulation Tools in BIM and non-BIM environments
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesignAbstract : The detailed use of Building Performance Simulation (BPS) tools to estimate the energy use and encourage energy savings solutions is vital in mitigating the energy use for buildings and the production of this energy. Furthermore, the design of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings involves a collaborative effort among professionals in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

4. The impact from varying wind parameters and climate zones on building energy use : A case study on two multi-family buildings in Sweden using building energy simulation
University essay from Linköpings universitet/EnergisystemAbstract : Globally, buildings utilize 35 % of the final energy use and contribute to approximately one-third of CO2 emissions. Hence, reducing the energy use of buildings contributes to a large amount of CO2 emissions to be decreased. READ MORE
