    <jats:abstract>
     <jats:p>This research aims to study the impact of building materials modeling on enhancing building sustainability through a case study of a residential building within the Basilia City planning scheme in Damascus, which is being transformed into a sustainable area using sustainable design techniques. The study is based on analyzing plot EA-189 in the Kfar Sousseh area by evaluating the thermal efficiency of the proposed building materials and comparing them with other materials using the Insight Solar tool in Autodesk Revit.The study involves analyzing three scenarios using different building materials: (1) Concrete blocks with air insulation and a bituminous insulated roof, (2) Brick with fiberglass insulation and a green roof, (3) A mix of brick and concrete blocks on different facades and a green roof. The results show that the second scenario provides the highest energy efficiency and best indoor air quality, despite its higher cost. The third scenario, which combines brick and concrete blocks, offers a balance between energy efficiency and cost, making it the optimal choice for future construction projects. The study demonstrates that building information modeling (BIM) enhances the effectiveness of sustainable design strategies and contributes to improved energy performance and environmental comfort of buildings.</jats:p>
