“…Whilst Pinti et al [24] were specifically referring to public sector entities such as hospitals and schools, the issue of scale is arguably considered true for many organisations that manage multiple assets. Further perceived barriers include the time taken to make models [40,60], the need to consistently update them so they remain relevant [12,16,59] and the need to make data accessible to those without BIM ability or access to BIM tools [16].…”

“…However, it is worth noting that even if all the information requirements for the existing assets are known, much of this data can be erroneous or missing, a likelihood which increases with the age of the asset [60]. Furthermore, since FM covers the whole operational life of an asset, it is not unreasonable to assume that new data will need to be added to the system over time to reflect any changes, whilst retaining the historical data.…”

Defined digital Facilities’ Management (FM) systems will contribute to the realisation of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. Of the available digital FM systems, Building Information Modelling (BIM) for FM, herein referred to as BIM-FM, is the least developed. Where BIM-FM varies from existing digital FM tools is its advanced 3D visualisation capabilities. A semi-structured literature review is undertaken to assess the current implementation of BIM-FM and identify opportunities to engender its increased adoption. This paper is part of an ongoing piece of research aimed at defining a standard methodology for the application of BIM to historically significant structures, otherwise known as Historic BIM (HBIM). Two existing approaches to BIM-FM, current and developing, are outlined. The potential value BIM-FM can provide according to the literature is discussed but there exists minimal practical evidence to justify these claims. Barriers to its adoption are discussed, with a key underlying barrier found to be a lack of defined user requirements. Consequently, functional, modelling and information requirements established within the literature are identified, and existing attempts at realising the requirements are discussed. Six information categories and two functional requirements are identified. It is theorised that the tendency to utilise simplified geometric models for FM is primarily due to software and practical limitations as opposed to actual end user needs, and it is suggested that this should be investigated further in future work. Attempts at realising BIM-FM user requirements using other advanced technologies, primarily Digital Twins, are investigated and found to be an area of increasing commonality. A new conception of BIM-FM is proposed.

“…By carefully selecting the exterior wall, roof, door, window, and ground surfer materials as well as the architecture of the enclosed space, which can have a significant impact on the energy usage over a building's entire life cycle, it is possible to significantly reduce the energy required for space heating or cooling. According to studies, the usage phase of conventional buildings accounts for around 80-90% of their lifetime energy consumption, while embodied energy makes up the remaining 10-20% [10]. Building Information Modeling tools help users do complete energy analysis and explore different energy saving alternatives during the design stage.…”

Nowadays, energy has become a key player in the AEC industry because of the increase in global warming and energy crisis. Due to global warming the consumption of energy has increased enormously in buildings. The no. of buildings have grown in tandem with rise in levels of urbanization in developing & developed countries, which in return rises the bar for energy consumption. The improved energy performance of the building is significantly influenced by both interior and exterior building factors. It is preferred to perform energy analysis in the design stage of the building. The current paper is the talks about the energy model by improving the design of a conventional buildings, an energy – efficient model is been created which uses less energy and reduces its carbon footprint. Energy analysis using BIM can be used to optimize the building’s design and identify opportunities for improvement, such as implementing energy-saving technologies, improving insulation and air tightness, and reducing energy loss through window frames, it’s glazing type and also redesigning the other parameters including HVAC types, Window shades, change in orientation etc. In the earlier, the conventional model to produce energy through renewable sources like solar and wind, and incorporate them into the building’s design. Thus, obtained results after analysis can be used to take design decisions and ensure the building meets energy efficiency standards and sustainability goals. The use of BIM in the design and analysis of energy-efficient buildings can help support the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable future.

“…In today's information and data-driven era it is becoming all the more crucial for Managers to monitor performance data, using Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) or Building Information Modeling (BIM) through the implementation of software solutions (9). Reviewing Green BIM literature it was found that a major hindrance for its implementation is insufficient sources of knowledge, impacting the management's decision-making process (10); for example, during the design process, improper use of estimation methodologies or input parameters leads to performance discrepancy (11). When it comes to Corporate Social Responsibility the relationship between ethical leadership and employees' attitude toward CSR was found to be positive (12), these leaders play a major role in incorporating the needed values that contribute to the organization's accountability and responsibility when it comes to sustainability ( 13 ) .In organizations that employ third-party facility management companies it is the responsibility of the facility managers to integrate into daily operations the pillars of sustainability, and keeping the leadership team informed of the long term benefits and cost-efficiency of going green (14); additionally involving the employees in the company's CSR ensures that these practices do not remain superficial (15).…”

Sustainability is one of the key requirements for any business; however, there exist gaps in recognizing and aligning these sustainable practices with everyday operational activities. With this in mind, this study aims to explore the current awareness level in business leaders and stakeholders about corporate responsibility towards sustainability and reflects on the obstacles encountered by them in diverse built environments, laying the groundwork for addressing these hurdles and contributing towards the overall sustainable development. The study uses a thematic approach to analyzing data with the help of NVIVO12 software. The major findings include Energy Auditing process - not carried out frequently; both sustainability and profitability go hand in hand; absence of technology such as AI and Sensor technology has contributed to the built environment's energy performance gap; there is a knowledge gap that exists among business leaders in understanding the concept of sustainable development.
