| Summary: | Energy usage and its respective become a controversial issue in the modern world. Energy is considered as one of the indispensable factors for continuous development and economic growth. Among the wide range types of different buildings, Public buildings are considered as one of the biggest energy consuming sector in the world and major part of this amount is used by the air conditioning system especially in tropical climates. One of the public buildings that have the most occupied compared to the other public buildings are libraries. It has to be more consider with regard to energy consumption issues. The aim of this study is the analysis and optimization of energy usage in public buildings to reach the comfort level. It management of consuming the energy input by using BIM application. A selected case study modeled within the BIM application and simulated through suitable energy analysis software. The result of a questionnaire distributed among users showed that the air quality is uncomfortable. The current energy consumption patterns of this case are identified and shifted to the optimized level of energy usages by recommending some practical passive ways to change the materials, internal design and the comfort level of the building. |
