BIM means Building Information Modelling Management that people are able to design, create and maintain the building throughout the whole lifecycle. BIM technology provides a new design method that overall energy performance could be simulated and evaluated and it helps to achieve the sustainability goals. Transparent facade system on modern buildings usually causes high heating or cooling consumption. The double skin facade could be used as possible solution for these problems. A student work would be simulated in BIM and its double skin facade system would be evaluated to reduce energy consumption.
