International Journal of BIM and Engineering Science IJBES 2571-1075 10.54216/IJBES https://www.americaspg.com/journals/show/2598 2021 2021 A New Approach to Enhance Smart City Applications Through Integrating GIS & BIM Technology Building Information Modeling and Management Master Programme, Syrian Virtual University Bushra Bushra Professor in the Master's Program in Building Information Modeling and Management at the Syrian Virtual University Rana Maya The research deals with the study and analysis of smart cities, the requirements for their establishment, and the role of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in building sustainable, energy-efficient smart cities. The primary objective is to put a smart city transformation methodology and apply it on Lattakia city as a case study, using Building Information Modeling (BIM). We proposed new tools in an integrated methodology to transform from ordinary to smart city, and implemented basics of its objects, including GISBIM technologies integration, insuring both sustainable and energy saving vision at general planning designs. Implementing the chosen methodology steps at an organized area in Syria – Lattakia City, starting with building an accurate geodatabase, then, obtaining Sun Shadow Frequency analysis, which shows that December contains the highest shade values, with cumulative coverage rate 79.84%, while June instead contain the lowest shade value, reaching only 33.84%. But in general, most of the area has shade coverage that does not exceed 15% most of the day, therefore no need to make an adjustment to the distribution of building blocks. After that, in order to secure the energy needed for the study Area, analyzing the Land Surface Temperature (LST) done using the ArcGIS Pro® software, and locating a renewable energy station site (solar plant). On the other hand, analyzing a residential building energy through annual PV analysis has been done, by using Revit® software through Insight™ extension, with two cases: first one, building without changing building material, while second one done after changing building material to save solar energy inside and rising roof slope up to 10%, and we achieve valuable energy savings by applying this modification to building material. And finally, introducing the infrastructure underground network, that serving transformation to smart city. 2024 2024 31 46 10.54216/IJBES.080103 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/22/show/2598
