Research on Energy-Saving Optimization of Green Buildings Based on BIM and Ecotect

Abstract

Based on the resource conservation requirements of GB/T 50378-2019 “Green Building Evaluation Standard”, this study constructed a BIM–Ecotect collaborative analysis model and proposed a “four-dimensional integration” green performance optimization method. Taking a high-rise office building in Wuhan as an example, a LOD 300-level Revit building information model was established, and a multidisciplinary collaborative analysis was achieved through gbXML data interaction. The lighting simulation results show that the average natural lighting coefficient of the office area facing south is 2.4 (the standard 85%), while in the meeting room area, due to the optimized design of the curtain wall, the average natural lighting coefficient has increased to 2.6 (the standard 92%). In terms of energy-saving renovation, a three-dimensional collaborative design strategy was adopted. Through the optimization of the envelope structure, the cooling load of the air conditioning system was reduced by 25.3%, and the heat load was reduced by 23.6% (the u value of the exterior wall was reduced by 56.3%, the SHGC of the exterior windows was reduced by 42.9%, and the thermal resistance of the roof was increased by 150%). The ventilation optimization adopts the CFD flow field reverse design, adjusting the window opening rate of the exterior windows from 15% to 20% to form a turbulent diffusion effect. Therefore, the air change rate in the office area reached 2.5 times per hour, and the CO2 concentration decreased by up to 27.1% at most. The innovative adoption of the “composite sound insulation curtain wall” technology in acoustic environment control has increased the indoor noise compliance rate by 27 percentage points (from 65% to 92%). The above research data indicate that digital collaborative design can achieve an overall energy-saving rate of over 20% for buildings, providing a replicable technical path for enhancing the performance of green buildings.
