“…However, this study focuses on construction projects in which the clients or project team plans to adopt smart technologies such as BIM along with sustainable practices in their projects. The benefits of adopting both concepts (BIM and sustainability practices) have been highlighted in the literature (Oti, Tizani, Abanda, Jaly-Zada, & Tah, 2016;Tah & Abanda, 2011).…”

The research study aims to explore and assess the critical success factors (CSFs) that can amplify the integration of building information modeling (BIM) and sustainability practices in construction projects. Delphi survey technique was employed to solicit the perceptions of experts on the 30 identified CSFs by means of a two‐round Delphi survey. The expert panel responses were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The key drivers identified in the study are related to people‐centric, and data and technology‐centric interventions in the built environment. Crucial deductions were formed on the basis of a comparative analysis of the expert groups. The study's findings have provided valuable lessons for local authorities, policymakers, and project stakeholders to strengthen the drive for achieving full adoption of green BIM initiatives. The study has also provided effective recommendations for increasing the uptake of BIM and sustainability practices in the construction industry, and has contributed to the existing body of knowledge about smart urbanization and hands‐on practice in the built environment.

“…BIM-enabled tools developers have the benefit of making their products available for researchers and other users to develop prototypes to run as plug-ins, however, such facility in BIM implementation is yet to be fully explored. Researchers must take advantage of such opportunity for developing news methods to quantifying the sustainability of design solutions to inform conceptual design decisions, as an integral part of BIM [26].…”

The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology can be used to quantify, in the design phase, the impacts of a product throughout its life cycle and to determine which building components have the highest potential impacts. However, such a method has often been avoided due to the need for detailed input data and the complexity of the available tools. For that reason, although LCA is increasingly present in the construction sector demands, professionals continuously pursue new ways to incorporate such methodology to the building design and construction processes, as simple and uncomplicated as possible. A promising possibility is the incorporation of building systems LCA data in the BIM software tools. Numerous limitations of BIM-based LCA have been identified over the years. For instance, the complexity of LCA software tools, particularly as regards the data input and interpretation of results, and the interoperability issues, all need to be overcome. Once BIM models are composed of smart objects, which represent construction elements with encapsulated intelligence, they are expected to be where LCA data could be applied. In this paper a conceptual and methodological discussion will be developed on the practical possibilities of inclusion and export of LCA data embedded in BIM elements, focusing on Autodesk Revit software and its features. Such a discussion will take place by exploiting technological possibilities of such software and evaluating the possibilities of development and modification of parametric elements and families, as well as the further export potential of such embedded LCA information. The main goal is the construction of a robust theoretical framework that will precede the future development of a methodological BIM-LCA integration tool by the exploitation of the features available in the existing software.

“…Autodesk Revit API has been generally used in the AEC industry to perform and improve several types of analysis. Oti, Tizani et al [35,36] used Autodesk Revit API to appraise alternative steel-framed building design solutions using multi-criteria performance analysis. The intention was to support structural engineers in assessing the sustainability measures of alternative design solutions at the early design stages.…”

A B S T R A C TThe construction industry is responsible for various negative impacts on the environment leading to an increasing demand for sustainable buildings. There are several Building Sustainability Assessment (BSA) methods that allow designers to assess and optimise the building sustainability level. Due to the potential of Building Information Modelling (BIM), the opportunity for BSA methods to adopt and benefit from BIM arises. Despite the benefits in the approach simplification for assessing building sustainability, so far the method has not been used comprehensively in the evaluation process. This paper analyses how using BIM can contribute to optimising BSA methods, focusing on the SBTool PT -H. BIM applicability is assessed and a framework for a BIM-based application -SBTool BIM -is proposed. BIM is still not oriented to sustainable building, but it has great potential. For the SBTool PT -H, results show that it is possible to directly and indirectly assess 24 out of 25 criteria using BIM. veloped all over the world by private companies and public https://doi.
