Abstract: In this study, Building Energy Simulations (BES) have been performed to check the impact of concrete-based building materials as part of the building envelope on the primary energy consumption of a single-family nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) to be built in Spain. The aim of this study is to evaluate different concrete solutions and determine which configurations combine the lowest primary energy consumption and the lowest cost by analyzing the building’s energy performance throughout its life cycle. An Open BIM
workflow, proposed by CYPE Software, was used for the achievement of these objectives. An architectural model was developed using the freeware application IFC Builder and synchronized though the online platform, BIMserver.center, where its project data was available for the energy simulations performed later in CYPETHERM HE Plus. Although the results refer to a Spanish-Mediterranean residential reference, the methodology applied in this study is applicable in other cases and can be useful to support nZEBs design and decision making.
