Modeling and Analysis of Conventional and Green Building in Revit Software for Cold and Cloudy Climate

Abstract

Green Building also known as green construction or sustainable building is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource efficient throughout a building's life-cycle. Green building deals with the various energy saving concepts which can be incorporated at the time of planning, designing, construction and execution stage to have energy efficiency keeping in mind the cost perspective. This report aims at studying the different features of a Green Building and preparing a 3D model in REVIT Software of Conventional Building and Green Building. The Green Building has incorporated with various parameters for energy savings and modelled in the software Autodesk REVIT. In this project, Conventional building and Green buildings are designed for a Cold and Cloudy Climate for the region Shimla where maximum temperature is 30oC and minimum temperature is -2 oC. Cost of construction is estimated for Conventional Building and Green Building. A comparison between the Conventional Building and Green Building is done on the basis of Cost of Construction and Energy Cost and a payback period is determined
