“…Figure 1 LCA framework defined by ISO [22] As presented in the introduction and literature review, the author will use the LCA methodology to assess different brick types' environmental impacts using the PRe SimaPro version 9.1 with a faculty license. Indeed, this paper is one of the series of LCA studies on the Assiut University Hospital Clinic as a case study, two articles have been already published [23], [24].…”

The rice straw burning in all the Egyptian governorates is seasonally occurring, an environmental disaster called the "Black Cloud". This study's main goal is to conduct the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) methods. Thus, the LCA of four brick types: (1) fired clay, (2) cement, (3) sand, and (4) rice straw has been compared. The BIM has been used to gather the building construction components to build the four LCA scenarios using the PRe SimaPro. The results have been presented by the single score and weighting method using the IMPACT 2002+ method with midpoint and endpoint (Pt) results. (1) Regarding the midpoint results, the fired clay brick has recorded the worst environmental impact with 30.10 Pt. In contrast, the rice straw brick has verified the lowest effects with 1.31 Pt. (2). Regarding the endpoint results, the highest value of human health has been assigned to the fired clay brick type with 11.4 Pt and the rice straw brick with 0.633 Pt. The highest resource depletion impacts have been pointed out the fired clay and cement brick with 7.29 Pt and 6.53 Pt, respectively. A novel framework for integrating LCA and BIM has been conducted on a proposed building during the early phases. The article has also introduced an approach to eliminating the Egyptian life cycle inventory database shortage as the LCA applications in Egypt are scarce. Moreover, it can help the concerned legislative bodies and the decision-makers. KEYWORDSEnvironmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Building information modeling (BIM), Rice Straw Brick, Assiut City Highlights  Incineration of the rice straw in the Egyptian governorates is seasonally occurring, and an environmental disaster called the "Black Cloud".  LCA and BIM methods have been conducted for four brick types on a proposed building during the early phases.  The rice straw brick industry does not use natural resources and fuel in large quantities than the fired clay brick.  Due to the fired clay production incineration process, the highest value of the human health impact has been assigned to the fired clay brick.  The highest resource depletion impacts have been pointed to the cement brick industry as it is using lime as a primary material to produce the brick.

“…After the usage of the building comes the life cycle assessment (from now on LCA). The main subject of [91] is undertaking of the three methods of LCA, the environmental performance (from now on EP), and BIM to determine the environmental performance and impacts of two window frame materials: aluminum and wood. The network flow for producing one kilogram of wood and aluminum has been drawn; Autodesk Revit v2023 was used to obtain the quantity data from BIM.…”

This research raises questions about the possibilities and options of using the BIM methodology associated with software for the wood design and construction of structure modeling along an asset’s cycle life. Likewise, several academic and research initiatives are reviewed. In this sense, this paper aims to establish an appropriate link between two agendas that the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, academia, and governments normally handle separately. By conducting several literature reviews (book, journals, and congresses) and extensive software tests (BIM software: Revit v2023, Archicad v27, Tekla, and wood plug-ins: AGACAD, Archiframe, Timber Framing 2015, WoodStud Frame, etc.), the state-of-the-art was assessed in both fields, and several cases linking BIM and wood are shown in detail and discussed. Various theoretical samples are modelled and shown, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique and stage are explained. On the other hand, although wood construction has been most common for hundreds of years, this is not the case of BIM software developments associated with this materiality. Furthermore, since the appearance of materials such as steel and reinforced concrete, all software developments have focused on these materials, leaving aside the possibility of developing applications for use in wood projects. According to that previously discussed, it can be concluded that BIM for wood has been used more frequently in academia, that both fields have several common processes, and, in many cases, that only a few BIM-wood tools have been used, thus disregarding the high potential and high level of benefits that result with the application of these methodologies for the complete building life cycle (design, construction, and operation).
