Revolutionizing School Buildings: Predicting Energy Usage with Modern Technology.
The article discusses how using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and energy assessment tools can help design energy-efficient buildings. The researchers analyzed a school building in Spain using Autodesk Revit to predict its energy performance. They considered factors like building materials and weather effects to estimate CO2 emissions, cooling and heating loads, and electrical usage. The analysis showed that with modern technology, an engineer can easily assess the energy usage of a small building.
