The BIM in Green Architectural Design Software Investigation

It discussed the problems existed in the current green architectuarl design software combining with the architectural design process and green building evaluation standards in this paper. The architecture of constructing system frame for green architectural design software are analyzed. We put forward that BIM technology is an affective method to keep data consistent, data unique and to share resources in green architectural design software. The functions of building information model and corresponding data content in different stage of a building life cycle are discussed according to the green building evaluation standard. The concept of extended BIM are put forward through the analysis of BIM used in energy simulation software. The resaerch on BIM should be pay more attention.
