Concurrent with the rapid increase in energy consumption, concerns regarding production problems, the depletion of energy resources, and severe environmental impacts (ozone layer depletion, global warming, climate change, etc.) have grown worldwide. Today, energy efficiency in buildings is the primary goal of energy policy at regional, national, and international levels. Inappropriate design and construction, non-standard materials and equipment, the materials used in buildings, and improper selection of building envelopes such as walls, windows, and insulation systems are among the most important factors for the high intensity of energy consumption in buildings. Improving the aforementioned measures reduces the share of internal energy losses from each component of the building shell. The increasing advancement of technology and the industry's need to use it have caused Building Information Modeling to grow as one of the new technologies in the construction industry and attract researchers' attention for its use and development. The aim of the present research was to investigate energy-efficient patterns for tall residential building envelopes utilizing Building Information Modeling. For this purpose, this research examines the use of different materials in constructing the external walls of a building, based on a case study and using the capabilities of a Building Information Model, from the perspective of energy consumption. The materials investigated in this research are clay block, pumice concrete block, foamed concrete block, Iran-wall block, aerated block, and Wallcrete. Pumice concrete block and foamed concrete block, with approximately 10% savings in fuel-derived energy consumption and 3.8% savings in electrical energy consumption, were selected as the best wall.
