Abstract

In recent years, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards have become an important business consideration worldwide. The real estate sector, as an important investment, is gearing market decisions towards quality and sustainable outcomes, which will generate financial and economic benefits for the sector and investors, particularly over the medium to long term. These changes in macroeconomic scale are leading to transformations in the hierarchy of real estate values, with the level of appreciation of thermal comfort becoming a priority in the appraisal process. Thermal comfort, defined as the state of satisfaction of an occupant in relation to his or her thermal preferences and the ambient climate, involves measures of sensitivity to various behavioral and environmental parameters. This paper aims to integrate the capabilities of Building Energy Modeling (BEM) and Building Information Models (BIM) into an automated workflow based on Green Building XML (gbXML) to model the indoor thermal comfort factors of a property’s value.
