Abstract – The consciousness of energy usage is crucial for
global sustainability efforts, particularly in optimizing the energy consumption of buildings. This research focuses on creating a digital twin of Adichunchangiri Polytechnic's existing building and enhancing its visualization using Twinmotion software. Additionally, a comprehensive threeenergy model was developed and analyzed. Among the assessments conducted, Assessment Three emerged with the most favorable operational cost per square meter at 12.4 USD/m2, surpassing Assessment One (20.7 USD/m2) and Assessment Two (17.2 USD/m2). This underscores Assessment Three's superior energy efficiency and effective system optimizations. Key factors contributing to Assessment Three's performance include its high window-to-wall ratio, which enhances natural day lighting and reduces reliance on artificial lighting. Historical analysis of the model reveals ongoing improvements that have consistently enhanced its energy performance. Strategic building orientation further enhances Assessment Three's efficiency, optimizing lighting, airflow, and overall sustainability. This is evident in its superior metrics for daylight utilization, occupancy control, plug load efficiency, and HVAC efficiency, all of which contribute to operational efficiency and sustainability. Financially, the lower operational costs of Assessment Three highlight its long-term cost-effectiveness and potential for substantial savings. This study provides valuable insights for future building designs, emphasizing the importance of optimized ratios, strategic orientation, and integrated efficiencies to achieve superior energy performance and occupant comfort. In conclusion, Assessment Three sets a benchmark for sustainable building practices, showcasing the benefits of strategic design and efficient systems in achieving exceptional energy performance and operational excellence.
methodologies has emerged as a cornerstone in the pursuit of sustainable building practices. Central to this paradigm shift is the utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM), a revolutionary approach that transcends traditional architectural design processes by enabling comprehensive digital representations of building projects. At the forefront of this technological revolution is Autodesk Revit 2022, a powerful BIM software suite renowned for its versatility, efficiency, and robust analytical capabilities. Coupled with the cutting-edge insights provided by Insight 2022, Revit 2022 empowers architects, engineers, and building professionals to not only visualize and design intricate building structures but also to analyze, optimize, and streamline their energy performance with unprecedented precision and insight. Against this backdrop, this research endeavor embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the energy analysis capabilities afforded by Revit 2022 and Insight 2022, with a particular focus on their application in the context of sustainable building design and operation. By delving into the intricacies of these software tools, this study seeks to unravel the full spectrum of functionalities, methodologies, and best practices available to practitioners in their quest to create energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable built environments.
