The thermal comfort analysis results defined the criteria for the development of an enhanced building envelope system characterized by modular panels. The existing apartment was reconstructed with BIM software, and the virtual model was utilized for a parametric building energy simulation to calculate the thermal comfort condition of occupants during the entire year. This study focuses on the improvement of thermal comfort for the renovation of an exemplary apartment building based on an integrated Building Information Modeling (BIM) and parametric software framework. Accordingly, apartment buildings require essential renovation after only 20 years of operation. The mass construction of apartment neighborhoods during a period of rapid economic growth (1970–1997) involved the minimization of material use and quality, as well as industrialized construction processes. Apartment buildings are the most common housing typology in South Korea.
