Information Modelling for Energy Efficiency in Intelligent Buildings

In this article one examine the topic of Building Information Modeling (BIM) from the perspective of the residential building' owners. We present a novel approach to estimate of energy consumption through the identification of the relevant parameters and the application of Soft Computing techniques. The residential buildings must be capable of not only providing mechanisms to minimize their energy consumption, but also integrating their own energy sources to ensure their energy sustainability. We characterize the building in terms of its contextual features and energy consumption, and then select the most appropriate techniques to generate the most accurate model charged with energy rationalization. The innovative technologies would need to ensure that the owners achieve management tool to provide advanced energy management of intelligent built environment, where smart objects, as well as distributed energy resources are installed.
