Integration of Lighting Design and Bim for Sustainable Interior Environments

Abstract

Lighting design is essential in shaping sustainable interior environments by impacting energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and overall building performance. Traditional methods of lighting design often face challenges in coordination, performance assessment, and integration with other building systems. Building Information Modeling (BIM), with its ability to provide a detailed digital representation and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration, offers a transformative platform for integrating lighting design into the broader framework of sustainable building. This paper examines the potential of BIM-enabled lighting design, highlighting how it enhances energy performance, facilitates regulatory compliance, and supports sustainable decision-making throughout the building's lifecycle. The research covers methodologies, challenges, and opportunities for integrating lighting design with BIM to achieve sustainable interiors.
