Since the advent of last century the construction and operations of buildings and workplaces have had an extensive impact on all all three elements of Triple Bottom-line i.e they impact, People, Planet and Profit. To address these challenges, we have seen a strong upsurge from society, government and industry for the demand for sustainable design. Sustainable design is a rapidly emerging field of building design which addresses all elements of Triple Bottom-Line and brings out a win-win proposition for all participants of the construction ecosystem. Sustainable Design focuses on following key objectives <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It aims to reduce the usage of vital resources like water, land, energy and other raw materials<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Reduce environmental degradation brought about by buildings throughout their building life cycle<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Create and operate buildings that are ergonomic, environmentally friendly and safe for people <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Reduce waste generation footprint be it construction related, occupant related or demolition related<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Owners and Tenants of Buildings, designers and builders are all finding it relevant that they must invest in facilities that rank high on accessibility, health and productivity while at the same time have minimal or even negative impacts on the environment, economy and society. Sustainable design is being aided by a slew of Executive Orders, Legislations, MOU\u2019s and Sustainability Goals whose adoptions are being driven by mandates from federal agencies. To address these goals, designers and builders alike are leveraging Building Information Modeling to make sure that in terms of usability energy use and energy costs can be predicted and simulated. Energy Performance Modeling is becoming very vital in Building Information Modeling. The core advantage of Energy Performance Modeling are <\/span><\/p>\n
