Abstract :
[en] The integration of Building Information Modeling and Building Energy Simulation in the architectural
design process has been increasing rapidly and many discussions are produced regarding this topic in the
western country. For developing countries where these technologies have started to be practiced recently, the
research about utilization and how to implement them correctly in the design process is still limited. The aim of
this paper is to study the current situation of BIM and BES application in the design process of a sustainable
building in developing country. 10 architectural firms who practice sustainable design in Cambodia were
interviewed using 7 rigorous research steps to get some insight on the current practice of these two methods in
sustainable building design and how building designers would like to implement them in the future. A current
design process integrating BIM and BES is identified. Certain issues concerning the mal-practice of BIM and BES
in Cambodia to the purpose of sustainable principle are discussed. A 5-phases design process integrating BIM
and BES since the early design phase is proposed to resolve these issues and to fit better with the context of
developing countries.
