Abstract
The construction sector significantly impacts the environment, particularly in building materials. The initial design phase requires careful selection of materials, as random selection can lead to inefficient performance. Smart materials (SMs) are crucial in the construction sector for their adaptability to climatic changes, energy efficiency, and saving energy, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7, SDG 13) , but there is a great diversity in the types of SMs, which makes the selection process difficult. Therefore, the study suggests using Building Information Modeling (BIM) as one of the technology tools used in developing the construction industry (SDG 9) to compare the environmental performance of these materials to help choose among them by integrating genetic algorithms with BIM through the Dynamo plugin. By applying heat transfer equations. Dynamo Script’s efficiency was verified by applying it to property exchange materials, specifically phase change materials (PCM) and thermochromic materials (TCM). In a case study, BioPCM 29 and TCM were integrated into a lecture hall in an educational building using Revit software and Dynamo plugin. The study found that BIOPCM 29 reduced energy consumption for cooling in the summer months by 23.3% and 23.4%, while TCM reduced consumption by 19.3% to 19.4%. This research hypothesis enhances the use of BIM as a tool for comparing environmental performance of SMs, enabling optimal choice from initial design stages.
