    <jats:abstract>
     <jats:p>This study examines the impact of building material modeling on enhancing building sustainability through a case study of a residential building in the city of Basilia. The focus is on using Revit 2023 to model the building and analyze how building materials affect its sustainability. The modeling process includes analyzing the shadows cast by architectural elements and studying their impact on the performance of the building materials. Shadow reflections on energy and material efficiency are measured to determine how building sustainability can be improved through material design and distribution adjustments. Additionally, Revit Insight 2025 is used to evaluate the extent to which natural lighting is achieved through the building envelope and to study the impact of materials on lighting quality and energy efficiency. The research addresses how the building benefits from natural lighting and how this can be optimized with appropriate materials to achieve maximum energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The study aims to provide a comprehensive model demonstrating how building sustainability can be enhanced through improved modeling of building materials and analysis of their environmental performance. Through these analyses, the research seeks to offer strategies and recommendations for designing more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings.</jats:p>
