Evaluating Sustainability of Architectural Designs Using Building Information Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
BIM (Building Information Modeling) has been recently implemented by many Architecture, Engineering, and Construction firms due to its productivity gains and long term benefits. This paper presents the development and implementation of a sustainability assessment framework for an architectural design using BIM technology in extracting data from the digital building model needed for determining the level of sustainability. The sustainability assessment is based on the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System, a widely accepted national standards for sustainable building design in the United States. The architectural design of a hotel project is used as a case study to verify the applicability of the framework.

With the increased usage of 3D modeling, visualization, simulation and Building Information Modeling, architects produce 3D models, both for new designs and for historic reconstructions. However, these models are seldom shared to transfer structured information about the project. Even if they are exchanged, they are often not usable outside of their original design application. Additionally, di...

متن کاملFramework and Metrics for Assessing the Guidance of Design Processes
Traditional precedent-based architectural design explicitly generates and analyzes very few options for very few criteria. The introduction of sustainability concerns and building information modeling (BIM) to practice means professionals now have the desire and ability to generate many more options and to investigate them with respect to more criteria. Performance-based design involves the exp...
