“…Jalaei and Jrade (2015) also used a similar concept, but with a different approach, to incorporate the LCA module, LEED module, cost module, and BIM module from different resources such as suppliers, publishers, Internet, and literature to design, simulate, analyse, and evaluate the sustainability of projects during the conceptual stage. Nguyen et al (2015) proposed the LEED green building assessment criteria framework to be included in BIM to possess an automated tool for the green rating.…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digitalised technology under a collaborative working platform. Certain aspects of sustainability have been highlighted in recent BIM studies; however, no prior in-depth review has focused on BIM standards or guidelines and its uses for sustainability. This paper provides a mixed review to determine the current stateof-the-art BIM development for sustainability. A systematic review approach was adopted to analyse two main sources of literature, namely, BIM standards and guidelines; and peerreviewed academic publications. The result reveals that although there has been a significant amount of research and development about the use of BIM during various project phases, little work has been conducted about how it could be applied in refurbishment and demolition. Certain significant insights and implications have been uncovered, namely: (a) new BIM tools are required for assessing sustainability criteria; (b) the need for improved interoperability among BIM software and energy simulation tools; (c) BIM uses into various aspects of refurbishment and demolition have to be streamlined; and (d) an innovative procurement system is needed to adapt social sustainability into the project.

“…Rating System for Building Designs (Nguyen et al 2012) This research has used the LEED green building rating system in BIM application to obtain an automated tool for better performance and rating. A BIM model and LEED criteria framework was developed and then both were combined in an automated computer BIM modeling to achieve a green building rating system through BIM.…”

“Green Buildings” are essential in being responsive to the challenges of climate change and global warming while inhibiting natural resources degradation. This demand requires specific attention to increase the adoption of green-certified buildings within the construction industry. Innovative tools and techniques are needed to meet global challenges and strategies set for Sustainable Development Goals of 2030 agenda. This paper provides an intensive review of the evolution of green buildings from a sustainable development perspective which investigates the current global adoption of green buildings. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and Selective Critical Literature Review Analysis (SCLRA) methodologies were adopted focusing on the content analysis to develop more in-depth knowledge. The scope of this study enlightens the sustainable development goals and initiatives. This paper highlighted that there is still inadequate adoption of green buildings and their rating tools on a significant basis in developing countries. This research adds a method towards the better understanding of green buildings and current scenarios that shall be considered for future research.

“…In the United States, despite the fact that the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system has been widely recognized as the national standard for sustainable building design, its evaluation of green buildings is a tedious task and time-consuming because of its complicated process (Nguyen et al, 2015). Such a green building rating process could be accelerated and facilitated by implementing computer technology such as building information modeling (BIM), an innovative, new method for building design, engineering, and construction management that has been used in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.…”

To enable the green building rating for a building design in BIM applications, building information must be managed in such a way that the knowledge contained in LEED green building criteria could be extracted from the BIM model to support the assessment (Nguyen et al, 2015). Nguyen et al, (2015) presented a building knowledge framework by using the LEED green building criteria.…”
