| Summary: | Public universities in Malaysia are challenged with the issue of energy wastage due to improper energy audit on the energy performance. The wastage of energy occured due to the lack of awareness between students and staff, and limited particular guidelines for the management to improve the situation. Effort need to be made in retrofitting the buildings, to make it more energy self - sufficient, that leads to energy saving and improve the building's energy performance. The aim of this research is to improve the energy performance in an existing university building with the adaptation of Building Information Modelling (BIM). This paper will review on the energy performance process based on actual condition of an existing university building with the adoption of BIM based on previous researchers. It will identified the potential strength and weakness of applying BIM through energy performance process. The outcome of this paper will be used to integrate BIM in retrofitting the existing university building in order to improve energy performance. Furtheremore, it will help the facilities management in university to gain more accurate energy usage during the maintenance work. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
