Abstract

This positioning paper explains our approach to creating a collaborative environment to assist
multi-disciplinary teams in designing better energy efficient buildings with consideration of their
neighborhoods. A scenario-driven approach was used here to define the energy related activities, the actors
involved and the tools required to perform these activities. More specifically, the paper has a focus on energy
matching activities throughout the whole product’s life cycle. The paper will go on to suggest an appropriate
User Interface to allow multi-disciplinary teams to collectively explore various solutions as they visualize
BIM models and data models in a 3D interactive workspace to achieve optimum energy efficient buildings at
neighborhood level.
