THE USE OF BIM TOOLS FOR ASSESSING THE HOLISTIC ENERGY IMPACT OF BUILDINGS IN DIFFERENT CLIMATES AND BUILDING TYPOLOGIES
More Details:
Assessment of the energy associated with the material production, transportation and construction of buildings provides an opportunity for reducing the use of energy and improving sustainability .
Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides a platform to incorporate sustainability information in the design of buildings.
However, interoperability of BIM with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools needs further investigation.
Also, previous research in this area has either partially employed BIM;
data was exporte d from the main BIM authoring tool and then auxiliary tools were utilize d to evaluate the model,
thereby causing a disconnect between the model and analysis resulting in non-interoperable systems,
or has ignore d the importance of retaining the LCA results within the BIM environment.
To address this issue, this paper presents a framework to estimate the embodi ed energy content within the native BIM environment.
Additionally, the implementation of this framework is illustrated by the development of a tool for estimation of material embodied energy, transportation energy and construction energy.
More so, a prototype of the tool has been implemented on a case project to establish the workability of the framework.
