Abstract: Designing green building design is a growing field that requires technologies and computer simulations created on Building Information Modeling (BIM) design process. To achieve a green building design, project teams are using BIM of its ability to analyze and simulate several interior design scenes. Nevertheless, interior designers need to understand BIM design process for effective green solutions as there is a gap in the technological approach in achieving a green design in interior design. This paper aims at discussing green simulations and analyses in interior design by reviewing prescriptive and visual analysis, and visualization and wed-based external simulations. This will be supported by relevant case studies in the past 3 years in the field of interior design. Hence, BIM and BIM related external building performance simulation and analysis helps to green design in interior design. Finally, this paper will confer on educational issues using BIM related simulations and challenges and benefits of using green simulations in interior designing projects. Keywords: Green simulations, External building performance, Interior design
