SERVICE OVERVIEW
What Is 6D BIM Sustainability And Energy Analysis?
6D BIM adds sustainability and energy performance data to your Building Information Model (BIM). It connects design geometry with energy simulation, carbon analysis, and green building certification requirements, allowing project teams to evaluate the impact of design decisions on energy performance, lifecycle costs, and environmental outcomes before construction begins.
3D gives you geometry, 4D adds schedule, 5D adds cost, and 6D adds sustainability. It turns your model into a decision making tool for energy efficiency, not just a drawing set.
Why Does 6D BIM Matter Now?
• Energy codes and green building certification requirements may require design revisions when sustainability is evaluated late.
• HVAC and building envelope systems may require further optimization without early energy modeling.
• Embodied carbon in materials is difficult to evaluate without model-based sustainability analysis.
• Building design decisions influence long-term energy performance and lifecycle operating costs.
• Green building certifications such as LEED and BREEAM require detailed sustainability data and supporting documentation.
6D BIM sustainability and energy analysis helps project teams evaluate energy performance, carbon impact, and certification requirements early in the design process, when design changes are easier to assess.
Our 6D BIM Sustainability And Energy Analysis Services
We connect your BIM model to real energy and sustainability outcomes. Here is what that includes:
Whole Building Energy Modeling
Energy simulation models built from your BIM data predict annual consumption, peak loads, and cost.
LEED, BREEAM, and IGBC Certification Support
We generate the energy, daylighting, and material data your certification submission needs, and track credit compliance throughout design.
Embodied and Operational Carbon Analysis
We calculate lifecycle carbon for materials and operations and find the biggest reduction opportunities.
Daylighting and Solar Performance Analysis
We evaluate daylight and solar heat gain to guide façade design, glazing choice, and orientation.
HVAC and Renewable Energy Integration
We evaluate HVAC, solar PV, and renewable strategies in the BIM model for energy planning.
Energy Code Compliance Checking
We assess designs against energy codes including ASHRAE 90.1, Title 24, ECBC, and project rules.
Water Efficiency and Sustainable Site Modeling
We evaluate water use, rainwater harvesting, and sustainable site strategies for green building goals.
As-Built Energy Performance Verification
We compare post-occupancy performance with the original energy model for building evaluation.
