Formation of requirements for energy efficiency of buildings when designing BIM models in construction

Abstract

Creating and maintaining BIM models play a key role in realization of investment and construction projects using BIM technologies. The efficiency of these processes can be enhanced by certain rules and regulations, which, in most cases, in terms of energy efficiency requirements are represented by the EIR (Employer’s Information Requirements). Formulating a list of conditions is the customer’s personal prerogative and can vary significantly depending on the organization. To determine the features of developing regulations for creation of BIM models in the conditions of the modern Russian construction industry, a study of actual developed documents has been carried out. As a result of the study, the characteristic features of existing approaches to creating information requirements have been identified, and also a number of factors that play an important role in this process.
