An evaluation of architects' readiness for conducting energy modelling using BIM tools to achieve high energy performance buildings in the UK and Canada
Buildings, consume more than 30% of the world's energy and is the world's largest energyconsuming sector, contributing nearly a quarter of the total global greenhouse gas emissions.Global warming is the result of emission of greenhouse gases, and this represents a significantexistential crisis. The …
