International Journal of BIM and Engineering Science IJBES 2571-1075 10.54216/IJBES https://www.americaspg.com/journals/show/3216 2021 2021 Building Information Modeling and Management Master Program, Syrian Virtual University Sima Sima Director of Antiquities and Museums, Aleppo, Syria Sakher Olabi Lecturer in the Building Information Modeling and Management Master Program, Syria Virtual University, Damascus, Syria Hala Aslan This study aims to explore the role of traditional architectural elements in promoting sustainability and how to integrate them into modern buildings by utilizing modern technologies, especially Building Information Modeling (BIM), to restore heritage identity and apply green building standards to modern residential buildings. Despite the advancements in modern urban and architectural developments, sustainability is an ancient concept. Traditional architecture in our region has successfully balanced the use of natural resources with environmental preservation, thereby providing cultural and environmental identity to heritage buildings. In Aleppo, modern residential buildings suffer from a loss of this deep connection to the environment and authentic identity. This research employs BIM software to model and analyze the heritage house of Ajqabash, assessing its compliance with green building standards. The study highlights the role of modern BIM technologies in facilitating environmental analysis and emphasizes the importance of traditional elements, such as the iwan and the internal courtyard, in providing thermal comfort for residents. By studying and analyzing traditional architectural elements and using BIM techniques, the article demonstrates that the concept of sustainability is deeply rooted in our architectural heritage. The Revit program was utilized to model the Ajqabash house in its architectural and structural details, and an energy simulation plug-in was used to analyze the sun's impact on the house. The findings underscore the effectiveness of BIM in conducting environmental studies and in preserving heritage while promoting sustainability. The goal is to develop new design criteria that combine heritage architectural identity with global sustainability standards. This approach aims to contribute to building environmentally and economically sustainable architectural communities and providing innovative solutions to modern housing problems in Aleppo. Ultimately, the research seeks to honor our rich architectural heritage while addressing contemporary environmental challenges. 2024 2024 45 66 10.54216/IJBES.090106 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/22/show/3216
