Abstract

Building information modelling provides clear and specific requirements to promote sustainable construction in an integrated manner. Accordingly, this paper reviews the current state of the literature on sustainable construction and BIM. A review approach was adopted to analyze two main sources of literature, namely, the main criteria of sustainability and the elements that can be applied in BIM, and to implement practical support from case study experiences. Use BIM for Sustainable Design Analysis to determine the impact of the application on sustainable construction. Using BIM to Make Sustainable Design Decisions Through BIM simulation and analysis It was observed that a method of sustainable design analysis and the determinants of engineering and management data were used to analyze sustainable alternatives during the early stages of the project. The research has led to steps for a sustainable building guiding approach through BIM, where design decisions can be adopted to achieve sustainable benefits.
