Description

This project outlines a comprehensive approach to focus on achieving energy efficiency in the design of an educational building, by leveraging BIM software tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Etabs, Forma and other tools like Green Building Studio and Twinmotion. The project encompasses a series of interconnected stages, like site assessment, planning, analysis, design, energy optimization, estimation and 3D visualization. Our project is a proposal of a G+2 educational institution at the college premises. Preliminary survey, planning and designing work were done using Forma, AutoCAD and Revit in accordance with the guidelines from National Building Code, Kerala Municipal Building Rule and others. The structural analysis of various elements has been carried out in ETABS as per relevant IS codes. Green Building Studio was used for energy optimization and Twinmotion for 3D visualization. The estimation is done by using Revit referring to current PWD rates. The success of this endeavor contributes not only to a more sustainable educational building but also to a broader shift towards sustainability in the educational sector
