Improving the building efficiency to reduce the energy consumption achieving the cost-optimal was the major objective in this paper. This paper presents the common insulation material utilization during the operation process, besides the physical properties of materials. On the other hand, was compared the cost-effectiveness and the safety conditions of the material. Finally, this paper reviews the various software modelling and simulation tools to choose the easy interface comprehensive for design, analysis, and calculation of the energy required to preserve building performance criteria based on the inputs of building properties as well as the mechanical and dynamic systems.</p></abstract>
