Abstract	Building simulation is a fundamental element of sustainable building design and construction. Decisions made early of the design stage have a huge impact on construction and energy saving on commercial building projects. Among various tools, techniques and guidelines for simulation and for sustainable design, the National Construction Code (NCC) approved and Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air-conditioning and Heating (AIRAH) recommended Section J verification method (JV3) was adopted in the study to investigate the energy and cost savings of two commercial building projects in Australia. The two research questions have been highlighted. These include (a) What would be the best approach of construction cost savings using building simulation procurement guidelines and how it can be achieved? (b) What would be the range of construction cost saving compared to initial investment for simulation procurement of commercial building projects in Australia? The study highlighted that an alternative simulation approach rather than manual calculation is cost effective and 10 times of initial simulation procurement cost can be saved in construction depending upon the application of building elements (e.g. insulation, glazing, colour, orientation etc).
