Abstract

The aim of the paper is to identify energy inefficiencies and to propose energy-saving solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of the structures, considering Building Information Modelling—Existing Conditions Model as an enabling tool. The initiative underscores the role of Building Information Modelling—Existing Conditions Model in facilitating data-driven strategies for improving energy efficiency, highlighting its potential to transform the infrastructure and built environment into a paradigm of responsible energy consumption. In this context, the paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the thermal performance of student accommodations using advanced technologies, such as Unmanned Aerial Systems and Terrestrial Laser Scanners equipped with thermal cameras. The findings illustrate potential areas for improvements in thermal efficiency, offering a roadmap for targeted interventions to enhance the energy performance of buildings. The results of the study not only advance the green campus at Politehnica University Timisoara (Romania), but also serve as an educational model that demonstrates the integration of technology to promote sustainability in the built environment.
