###### Abstract  
In order to accurately analyze the building energy consumption and identify the problem of building energy consumption in advance, this study carries out the energy consumption analysis based on BIM (Building Information Modeling). The research object is a four-story college student dormitory in Beijing, and this set of BIM-based energy consumption simulation data was obtained using standard operating procedures (SOP). This operating procedure can start energy consumption analysis in the conceptual design stage, and developers can participate in real-time through the use of a three-dimensional information model, without additional design required. Then, comparing this study with the traditional energy consumption analysis, we see that the SOP of this research result has the following advantages: SOP function analysis is more professional, and the visual display method is more popular and intuitive; due to the flexible file format of the SOP, when data exchange is required between different software, the SOP can realize more convenient operation, and users can identify problems in the early stage of design through the SOP, correcting the scheme according to the simulation results, which is conducive to the development of the construction process. Finally, this study puts forward the analysis and estimation of energy consumption in different stages of the building life cycle, so as to provide researchers with ideas for improvement. sustainable building; evaluation system; building information modeling (BIM); building energy efficiency; energy consumption analysis Article Building Information Modeling-Embedded Building Energy Efficiency Protocol for a Sustainable Built Environment and Society

remain reluctant to stick with green solutions. In addition to the concern associated with high construction costs, the low popularity of sustainable building education also constitutes a development barrier for sustainability [7]. With the development of urbanization, more attention has been paid to building energy efficiency in modern architecture [8]. Throughout the entire life cycle of a building, including conceptualization, design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and deconstruction, environmentally friendly measures and resource-efficient processes are used, which broadens and complements the classical architectural design concerns regarding economy, practicality, durability, and comfort [9]. Sustainable building also covers maximizing resource saving over the whole life cycle, as well as protecting the environment and reducing pollution [9]. Sustainable building is expected to provide people with healthy, efficient, and energy-saving spaces, which in turn puts forward additional requirements for the implementation of sustainable buildings. The increase in building energy consumption in the United States, Europe, and Japan has been modest over the past two decades [2]. Since 1990, energy consumption in the industrial sectors of these countries has decreased, as the economy focus has shifted from manufacturing to services. On the other hand, the BRICS nations show significant increases in energy consumption across the sectors; for example, in China, building energy consumption has risen by nearly 45% in two decades [7]. Sustainable buildings in China can be traced back to the year 1986, and since that time, China has promulgated more than 100 building energy efficiency standards and regulations [10]. In May 2006, China formulated a medium- and long-term development strategy for sustainable buildings. In 2013, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the National Development and Reform Commission of China formulated the sustainable building action plan, which aimed to have 20 percent of all new buildings meeting the sustainable building standards [11]. The sustainable building development in China is still in its infancy, and the government and other policy makers have taken many steps to promote sustainable buildings in China [6].
