“…A critical review is a powerful approach that applies rigor, transparency, and reproducibility to identify, analyze, and synthesize related secondary data to advance knowledge (Sekaran and Bougie, 2016). The critical review process of this study draws on the methodology adopted in other review articles, such as Lu et al, (2017); Melo et al, (2021). Studies related to green BIM were scrutinized and summarised in Table 1.…”

The adequate application of Building Information modeling (BIM) in sustainable building design known as green BIM, ensures the exchange of accurate information to reduce the buildings' carbon emissions and enhance the overall sustainability performance. However, a major challenge in sustainable building design is the persistent exchange of inaccurate data, resulting in flawed decisions. This study develops a Green BIM Process Model to explicitly guide the multidiscipline team to use the diverse BIM software to efficiently exchange cumbersome sustainability information. The process model focuses on building massing; fabric and layout optimization; and mechanical electrical & plumbing systems. After a critical literature review, the major components of efficient information exchange in the BIM-based sustainable building design process were established. Then, an in-depth interview was conducted with 26 construction professionals and analyzed using the narrative analysis technique. As a result, the best practices for the holistic coordination of the established major components were ascertained. Afterward, the Green BIM Process Model was developed by using Integrated DEFinition techniques to explicitly model the relationship between the established major components. The novel Green BIM Process Model provides a pragmatic approach that defines how the multidiscipline team can exchange accurate information and in turn, make viable decisions that can enhance the sustainability performance of buildings.

The increasing generation of waste and its adverse effects on sustainability have prompted the development of practical solutions rooted in Circular Economy principles and Reverse Logistics (RL) practices. These solutions aim to recover materials' value and responsibly manage non-recoverable waste. Design plays a pivotal role in advancing sustainability in this context. This research aims to define the Design for Reverse Logistics (DfRL) approach by leveraging existing Design for X (DfX) concepts that influence RL activities. A comprehensive literature review was conducted across Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant definitions of DfRL and DfX, which were subsequently analyzed. By aligning DfX definitions with RL activities, this study proposes a DfRL framework based on these DfX principles. The advantages offered by these DfX concepts are linked to the design requirements of RL activities. This article contributes to an evolving understanding of DfRL, facilitating the execution of RL practices that support Waste Management and Circular Economy objectives, aligning with the sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda. It bridges a gap in existing literature by connecting DfX principles with RL activities and advancing the definition of DfRL. Moreover, it underscores the need for further research into Design for X approaches and recommends an analysis of design guidelines to establish more robust connections between DfX benefits and design requirements for products, processes, and artifacts supporting RL.

“…considers factors that are rarely addressed by researchers and designers. It was also observed that the de nition of DfRL should be expanded to cover and enable not only the RL activities, but also its execution in a more sustainable manner, further enhancing the results that contribute to the promotion of the sustainable design concept (Melo et al 2021).…”

In the current global context marked by rampant consumption, excessive waste disposal, and dwindling natural resources, Reverse Logistics emerges as a viable solution. This research adopts a Design for Reverse Logistics approach to identify essential Design Needs associated with Reverse Logistics, contributing to sustainable product development methodologies. Its primary objective is to enhance the efficiency of RL activities and processes. This exploratory research combines bibliographic analysis and surveys in a qualitative-quantitative approach, drawing insights from experts in Reverse Logistics, Circular Economy, and Sustainable Design. To ensure the reliability of our findings, we utilize Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and apply the TOPSIS multicriteria decision support analysis method for data processing. The outcome of expert analysis is a hierarchical arrangement of Design Needs, providing valuable recommendations for future research. In summary, this research delves into the intricacies of Reverse Logistics, aiming to address the pressing global issues of resource scarcity and unsustainable consumption. By identifying critical Design Needs, it offers a pathway towards more sustainable product development practices in an increasingly resource-constrained world.
