Abstract

Building information modelling (BIM) is usually implemented for gathering, generating and analysing building information, while providing benefits and enhancements regarding the level of communication between all parties and stakeholders involved. BIM helps to overcome inconsistency in building performance and any deficiencies that result in the age of the building and services. Whether managing and maintaining a facility or performing retrofit measures in buildings, it requires historical building data. This article aims to review a general framework of BIM and its application in the pre-construction and post-construction phases with regards to undertaking an energy performance assessment. The computational analysis from previous researchers has been reviewed and discussed regarding optimisation and simulation tools that are employed for the application of performing a building energy assessment. Furthermore, this article has reviewed the present situation of BIM in the context of the Malaysian construction industry and the potential for its implementation for energy performance analysis.
