Assessing the Effectiveness of BIM in Achieving Compliance with NECB Energy Efficiency Pathways
Abstract
This research examines the role of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in improving compliance with the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB). The NECB includes three compliance pathways: prescriptive, trade-off, and performance-based, which can be complex and time-consuming to verify using traditional manual methods. This study explores how BIM can support more efficient and accurate compliance processes by integrating regulatory requirements within digital building models.
Through a structured analytical framework and a practical case study, the research evaluates BIM’s ability to facilitate automated rule-checking and energy performance assessment. The findings suggest that BIM enhances compliance efficiency, reduces reliance on manual verification, and improves overall transparency in regulatory evaluation. However, challenges related to data interoperability and rule interpretation remain. Overall, the study highlights BIM’s potential to support digital transformation in energy code compliance.
