Nowadays, buildings exhibit high energy wastage, and due to their heavy reliance on fossil fuels, the adoption of intelligent management systems presents a viable solution. These systems can not only reduce energy consumption but also mitigate the waste of fossil fuels. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the impact of a Building Management System (BMS) utilizing an energy consumption simulator to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings. This research employs an experimental simulation method using the DesignBuilder software. In this study, a three-story building with one basement floor was initially designed in DesignBuilder, located in the Mehrabad Airport area of Tehran. The energy loss through the building’s external walls was then examined based on the software's default data. The results indicated that modifications in the wall design, consisting of five layers from outside to inside: 20 cm thick travertine stone, 20 cm thick Silicafom cement, 10 cm thick brick blocks, 8 cm thick polystyrene insulation, and 1.3 cm thick plaster layer, reduced the energy loss from the walls by 46.3 kW. Additionally, the use of electrochromic smart glass reduced energy loss from 8.5 kW to 4.76 kW compared to conventional glass. Therefore, it can be concluded that by utilizing smart materials in a three-story building, the total energy loss in the studied building decreased from 233.48 kWh to 81.15 kWh.
