Term Paper Topics

1. Energy Analysis of BIM Model with Detailed Energy Analysis Report

Using Autodesk Revit’s Energy Analysis Engine and Green Building Studio, Energy
Analysis of Residential/Commercial Architectural BIM Model will be carried out. Report
will contain detailed information of each aspect present in Computer Generated Report.

2. Sun, Shadow & Solar Study of BIM Model at Karachi with Different Surroundings
Solar heat gain, daylight and shadows of every building depends upon the location and
surrounding. Main BIM Model will be developed using Building Elements while the
surrounding buildings can be modeled using Masses (at least 2 Arrangements).
Geographic and Weather location should be Karachi, Pakistan.

3. Sun, Shadow & Solar Study of BIM Model at Different Climate zones of Pakistan
Solar heat gain, daylight and shadows of every building depends upon the location and
surrounding. Sun, Shadow & Solar Study of BIM Model at different Climate zones will be
compared.
