Abstract

Integrating BIM Building Information Modeling and sustainable interior design has become critical in buildings. The research seeks to explore how to improve the quality of interior design and environmental efficiency by integrating BIM with sustainable interior design standards according to the LEED assessment system.
The research is based on the use of a descriptive-analytical approach through a description of the concept of sustainable interior design and the criteria of the LEED assessment system, as well as the idea of BIM and its importance in achieving sustainability; to understand the impact of this integration on the overall performance of the building. The research includes studying the various aspects through which BIM software is integrated with LEED requirements, starting from the initial design stages and the LEED standards included in them and how to apply them with BIM software, and then the stage of simulation and analysis of the building and the LEED standards for this stage, up to the stage of evaluating the building to obtain LEED certification, which helps in improving the design process and ensuring its compliance with sustainability standards. This research can be a valuable and effective tool for designers and architects to achieve sustainable, environmentally, aesthetically, and functionally effective designs through the findings and recommendations.
