Building Information Modelling for analysis of energy efficient industrial buildings – A case study

Critical success factors for implementing building information modeling and sustainability practices in construction projects: A Delphi survey

“…Moreover, Sala, Ciuffo, and Nijkamp () highlighted some inadequacy in some of these techniques, which will make them unreliable and inconsistent, and much of the issues are linked to the fuzziness of the sustainability concept itself. Nevertheless, there has been some application of smart technologies and sustainability practices in some projects such as BIM for sustainable material decisions (Ahmadian, Rashidi, Akbarnezhad, & Waller, ), BIM for sustainable design (Wong & Fan, ), GIS‐based facility management (Kang & Hong, ), and BIM‐based energy analysis (Gourlis & Kovacic, ). A comprehensive review of the body of literature was examined by Olawumi and Chan ().…”

“…Nevertheless, there has been some application of smart technologies and sustainability practices in some projects such as BIM for sustainable material decisions (Ahmadian, Rashidi, Akbarnezhad, & Waller, 2017), BIM for sustainable design (Wong & Fan, 2013), GIS-based facility management (Kang & Hong, 2015), and BIM-based energy analysis (Gourlis & Kovacic, 2017). A comprehensive review of the body of literature was examined by Olawumi and Chan (2018a).…”

Obstacles to the Automation of Building Performance Simulation: Adaptive Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) design

“…Several tools have already been introduced for BIM-based and BIM-supported automated energy analysis (Gourlis & Kovacic, 2017). Interoperability and data-transfer as well as ease of use from BIM to BPS systems has been becoming important parts in order to reduce the re-modelling efforts, easy creation of Energy Analytical Models (EAMs) and effortless usage of the automated BPS (Bazjanac, IFC BIM-based Methodology for Semi-automated Building Energy Performance Simulation, 2008; Gourlis & Kovacic, 2017).…”

A review of developments in technologies and research that have had a direct measurable impact on sustainability considering the Paris agreement on climate change

“…This can be implemented using different modelling approaches. In [89] a literature review of the state-of-the-art of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to Building Energy Modelling (BEM) for industrial facilities and a case study of adopting a BIM to BEM approach at two industrial facilities to enable more efficient life-cycle management is provided. In the conclusion the barriers and challenges to BIM adoption and the benefits of the BIM to BEM workflow in an industrial setting are identified.…”
