The main goal of green building is to provide comfortable life for its residents, while encountering the negative impacts on the surrounding environment. This goal can be achieved by applying effective methodologies throughout the entire life cycle of the building and maintaining an efficient usage of the available energy resources. As part of “building information modeling (BIM),” there are numerous software simulation applications that can be used for analyzing, and modeling energy consumption in all stages of green building, starting from the initial stages of planning and design, up to the final stages of operation and maintenance. In this research work, we conduct a thorough investigation, analysis, and comparison of the performance of most common software applications used for simulating and modeling the energy consumption in green building, and subsequently, the best application is recognized based on unified selection criteria, which include various sets of design parameters and operating conditions.

绿色建筑中能源模拟应用的比较

绿色建筑的主要目标是在为居民提供舒适生活的同时，还应对周围环境带来负面影响。通过在建筑物的整个生命周期中应用有效的方法并保持对可用能源的有效利用，可以实现此目标。作为“建筑信息模型（BIM）”的一部分，从规划和设计的初始阶段到最终的整个绿色建筑的各个阶段，都有许多软件模拟应用程序可用于分析和建模能耗。操作和维护阶段。在这项研究工作中，我们对用于模拟和建模绿色建筑能耗的最常见软件应用程序的性能进行了彻底的调查，分析和比较，
