Abstract
Energy optimization of existing buildings is an important process aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption, ultimately fostering sustainable and environmentally-friendly structures that offer comfortable living environments. Extensive research indicates a growing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient buildings, driven by the need to mitigate the environmental impact of construction. The adoption of 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) plays a pivotal role in achieving green and sustainable construction objectives. This research involves the creation of a 3D model using Revit software, followed by the implementation of various energy optimization strategies to enhance building efficiency. These strategies encompass the installation of energy-efficient lighting systems, HVAC system optimization, and the utilization of cost-effective sustainable materials for flooring. The cumulative effect of these measures results in a significant reduction in the building's environmental footprint and operational costs. Through rigorous analysis and assessment, the study demonstrates the noticeable benefits of energy optimization in existing buildings, showcasing the conversion towards sustainability and enhanced energy efficiency. The findings underscore the substantial impact of energy optimization on annual energy consumption, highlighting its pivotal role in the pursuit of sustainable building practices.
