Abstract

Most architects and construction engineers need to use modern energy analysis software for the purpose of improving their design. There is software within the BIM (Building Information Modeling) that are specific to energy which help to get the calculations of energy in an easy way. Building energy analysis studies in Iraq are few and limited and insufficient attention is given to this important stage in building design which is one of the necessary and important stages to obtain a good design In this paper, one of the existing buildings in one of the regions of Iraq was modelled by using BIM modelling software (Autodeck Revit). The energy analysis was then carried out by the (Autodesk Ecotect) software after exporting the previously modelled model. The results obtained are necessary to achieve the best design in terms of energy with the assumption of future changes in buildings that are similar in style and area conditions in order to optimize energy.

Abstract

Bluetooth beacons are becoming increasingly popular for various applications such as marketing or indoor navigation. However, designing a proper beacon installation requires knowledge of the possible sources of interference in the target environment. While theoretically beacon signal strength should decay linearly with log distance, on-site measurements usually reveal that noise from objects such as Wi-Fi networks operating in the vicinity significantly alters the expected signal range. The paper presents a novel mobile Geographic Information System for measurement, mapping and local as well as online storage of Bluetooth beacon signal strength in semireal time. For the purpose of on-site geovisual analysis of the signal, the application integrates a dedicated interpolation algorithm optimized for low-power devices. The paper discusses the performance and quality of the mapping algorithms in several different test environments.
