Abstract

In today’s world, it is very difficult to manage the complex construction project with traditional project management system. BIM (Building Information Modelling) is one of most useful recent development in Construction Industry which helps in visualizing virtual building model to find future defects in design, to reduce cost, to increase productivity and quality etc. Big projects are required to carry out work during night also. So, it becomes vital to provide sufficient Lighting considering economics as well. With the use of BIM, the saving potential in lighting cost can be found out. In this research paper one case study of lighting analysis of residential project is taken which shows the benefits in energy cost savings.
