Training on Energy Analysis and Sustainable Design with BIM (7D BIM)
Course Overview
Sustainable building design requires data-driven energy analysis, performance tracking, and integration of environmental considerations from design to operation. 7D BIM extends traditional BIM by linking models with energy, sustainability, and lifecycle performance data to optimize building efficiency.
This 10-day course equips AEC professionals with advanced skills in energy analysis and sustainable design using 7D BIM. Participants learn to perform energy modeling, assess environmental performance, and align designs with green certification standards such as LEED, BREEAM, or EDGE. The course emphasizes practical application of Revit and other BIM tools to plan energy-efficient, net-zero, and climate-resilient buildings, while supporting long-term facility performance and sustainable construction practices.
Through hands-on exercises, case studies, and interactive sessions, participants gain the ability to integrate energy analysis into BIM workflows, optimize building performance, and deliver environmentally responsible, cost-effective, and high-quality projects.
