LCIA Parameters and the Role of BIM towards Sustainability: Regional and Temporal Trends

Building materials with a low environmental impact are critical to the sustainability of built environment. The can be determined by Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), which constitutes multiple parameters such as water used in material’s life cycle. To use LCIA approach for building material selection, its need assigned different weights, is primary objective this study. Information Modelling (BIM) play an influential role when using during design process. With consideration, we study attention given buildings and responsiveness BIM case. A multi-regional survey 120 experts from academia industry was conducted. results show relative importance focus sector on sustainability. current future towards also indicated. promote integration performance assessment, applications explored. will contribute research practice sustainable environment helping select environment-friendly materials.
