As the world continues to develop at a rapid pace, the demand for energy is increasing. The construction industry, in particular, consumes a significant amount of energy during both the construction and operation phases. This energy consumption often results in pollution and environmental harm, especially when non-renewable energy sources are used. To address this issue, governments have introduced measures such as the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) to reduce energy usage in the building sector. The technological advancements of the current times have helped create Building Information Modeling (BIM) which is a popular tool for designing buildings and simulating their energy consumption. By using BIM in conjunction with the ECBC 2017, it is possible to calculate the energy requirements of a building and make changes to reduce its reliance on non-renewable energy sources. This approach has the potential to greatly benefit the building sector by reducing its overall energy consumption. The paper presents a review of research studies which have addressed the usage of ECBC in conjunction with BIM, to aggregate the applications of technological innovations on sustainability for building construction and utilization.
