Recently, BIM-based energy simulation has emerged of much importance due to expectancy for sharing of building information, and it's efficient reuse. The Global call for sustainability and energy conservation has led to building energy modelling. BIM is beneficial in contributing to significant design development and information availability from the perspective of building energy modelling. Building simulation has been widely used in the late phases of design, whereas it will be highly useful to use simulations in the early stages of design to achieve better building performance. The role of a project manager is to make sure that the building meets all the environmental and zoning standards by overseeing the design and construction phases. In this case, it will be highly effective if "The Project manager has a precise list of parameters required from the architects, essential for the energy simulation of buildings in the early phases of design to achieve better energy performance".
Thus, the purpose of this paper is "to develop a standard reference template with an inventory or list of parameters". These Parameters have to be included in the BIM in the early phases of design following the specifications of LOD's in different stages. To simulate it for energy performance and follow it as a standard reference template by the project managers. As architects often have limited experience in energy simulation, they are unaware of the necessary parameters required for building simulation software.
