Abstract EN
BIM (building information modeling) can be the basis for carrying out various performance analyses.
Sustainable infrastructure rating systems are suitable tools for assessing an infrastructure’s environmental performance.
It is necessary to integrate them in the design process.
The research adopted a thorough literature review to follow the development trends, interviews with professionals from the academia and industry, and a critical analysis of technical requirements for integrating BIM tools and infrastructure sustainability rating systems in the design process.
This study propagates a conceptual framework for integrating sustainability rating systems by introducing BIM with a sustainability metric plug-in.
The adoption of the proposed solution allows for what-if scenarios to better support the incorporation of sustainability into design decisions and the assessment of sustainability at the design phase of the infrastructure project.
The framework is used to refine designs and ensure that sustainable goals are met and to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.
This paper concludes that greater emphasis should be placed on supporting technical requirements to facilitate the integration of BIM and sustainability rating systems.
It defines the possibility of BIM adoption to influence the sustainable project performance in the infrastructure.
This framework could streamline the sustainable design process and lead to more integrated infrastructure delivery.
