Considering the worldwide increasing rate of energy consumption and its environmental degradation effects, and considering the use of none-renewable energy sources such as the fossil fuels, consideration of energy management issues has become more important. Given the 40% share of the building industry's total energy consumption, as well as the 80% share of energy consumed during the operation period, of the total energy consumption during the life cycle of the building, attention to the areas of energy management and optimization during the operation period of the buildings can have a major impact on energy efficiency. In this research, through identifying building energy management tools and studying previous studies and assessing the effects of building energy management systems, the economic and environmental impacts of using building energy management systems on the annual energy consumption in an office building in Tehran as a case study has been investigated. The results indicate a 32 percent reduction in the energy consumption and a significant reduction in the release of the environmental pollutants in smart mode compared to the baseline. Moreover, considering the social costs associated with the emitted pollutants as well as the return period, it has been attempted to identify the factors contributing to the economic justification of using smart heating and cooling systems. According to the results, the use of smart energy management systems can be considered as an effective step in optimizing and managing energy consumption in the construction sector.
