Abstract

In with parallel to the population growth, the increasing for energy throughout the world causes increase in environmental health problems at the end of energy use have made it necessary to use energy more effectively and efficiently. Reasercher show that most of the energy consumption is caused by buildings. The increase in the buildings with each days causes to Investigate the In energy consumption at the same rate. Due to the continuous increase in energy consumption, the global warming and health problems that have become threatening to humanityled to the emergence of the sustainable Building. Sustainable buildings are environmentally friendly structures designed to use energy resources in the most efficient way. In this Review, more effective and environmentally friendly building energy models have become an attractive topic and common in both research and industrial society in recent years.
In this study, which aims to evaluate sustainable building in terms of energy efficiency and to determine the criteria that should be found in green building applications; Energy efficiency and Eco- Environment building concepts have been mentioned and a general review has been made on methods of building information modeling (BIM) utilized in building design process for building energy modeling (BEM) process. Finally, explanatory information about a sample energy analysis simulation study to be carried out including use the Design Builder and Energy Plus programs is included.

Keywords
