This article from Pinnacle Infotech explores how Building Information Modeling (BIM) supports the development of net-zero buildings by facilitating energy modeling, design optimization, and performance verification. It highlights that the built environment accounts for large shares of global emissions and waste, motivating the shift toward “net-zero” buildings that generate as much energy as they consume. The article outlines key sustainability factors—energy efficiency, renewable generation, smart energy management, sustainable materials, adaptive reuse, and native landscaping—and then explains how BIM tools (e.g., Autodesk Revit + Insight, Bentley AECOsim Energy Simulator, GRAPHISOFT ArchiCAD) integrate energy analysis into design workflows. It also discusses challenges—including budget
