Abstract
Objective. The aim of the study is to assess the prospects for using building information modeling technologies to solve problems of designing buildings and structures in adverse climatic conditions.
Method. The article analyzes the impact of using building information modeling (BIM) technologies on the development of sustainable and energy-efficient buildings. The advantages of using BIM technologies in design and construction, including the use of generative design technology, are described. The stages of working with BIM models are outlined, the advantages of BIM modeling over traditional modeling are described. The main aspects and tasks of designing in difficult climatic conditions are discussed. An example of an energy-efficient building in difficult climatic conditions, built using BIM, is considered.
Result. A script has been developed in the Dynamo visual programming environment, which allows taking into account the influence of adverse climatic conditions (wind) for a particular area. The script makes it possible to select the shape of the facade and the orientation of the building in space to minimize the adverse effects of the wind. The data used to determine the wind strength and its direction at different times of the year are taken from EPW files.
Conclusion. The paper draws conclusions about the key role of using BIM technologies in developing sustainable and energy-efficient buildings in various climatic conditions. It notes the prospects of the proposed approach and the possibility of further development of research in the field of visual programming for designing energy-efficient buildings.
