Abstract
Role of BIM - Technology in quality assurance of construction and energy analysis of buildings
Incoming article date: 28.03.2023This article described in detail the visualization of 5 case studies in Iraq with two important subjects; The first subject is construction quality control using BIM-compliant construction projects employing Autodesk Revit software; The second subject is quality assurance using BIM and energy analysis, which evaluates the energy usage in accordance with BIM utilizing Autodesk Revit software, and Autodesk Green Building Studio(GBS) Cloud. There are several causes that lead to the selection of these case studies. These case studies are applied models or examples executed by many Ministries such models exist in other governorates in Iraq. Despite the fact that the research topic of quality improvement utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology was not used in the chosen models, these buildings had several challenges throughout the execution phase. This research will be more valuable when implementing government agencies and private sector companies specialized in construction. wants to use BIM technology to improve the execution quality for future buildings.
