“…Case studies and LCA frameworks (that could be operationalised) were separated for detailed analysis, numbering 42 documents in total [1, 2, . The remaining 24 documents [5,13,15,19,21,[62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80] were included in the literature review, in addition to 12 academic articles, industry documents and reports [9,[16][17][18][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88] that were selected using a backward and forward snowball approach (papers from the reference list, and papers that cited articles in the review). This technique was used when there were perceived information gaps.…”

Buildings and construction are among the leading contributors towards global greenhouse gas emissions, resource demands, waste, and pollution, placing a massive strain on our natural environment. Until recently, mitigation strategies have primarily concentrated on reductions in operational energy, failing to account for embodied effects; those associated with the manufacture of construction goods, construction activities, and end of life considerations. In recent years, there has been an increased recognition of the growing significance of embodied effects, and the opportunity to reduce these during the building design process. However, life cycle assessment (LCA) tools used to quantify environmental flows are often perceived as being too time-consuming or complicated to incorporate into prevalent building design workflows. The aim of this study was to review approaches for assessing embodied environmental effects during the building design process, including the LCA tools and environmental data used to achieve this. A systematic review was conducted of academic and grey literature. The study identified three main approaches for incorporating LCA into the building design process: simplified LCA, detailed LCA and incremental LCA. Further analysis of these approaches was conducted, based on case studies. General attributes and design considerations were identified, and mapped against the early design, and detailed design stages. A wide variety of LCA approaches were reviewed, responding to various challenges for incorporating LCA into the building design process, with no singular approach able to completely satisfy all requirements. Findings highlight the lack of incremental LCA approaches, and the need for further research to understand how LCA approaches can be better used to improve the embodied environmental performance of buildings during the design process.

“…There is a growing need for these systems to adopt a user-centered design approach, prioritizing interactive spaces over mere digital representation [11,31,32,33]. Smart objects, equipped with specific functions, encapsulate environmental data [35] and can respond to user requests [11,32] based on their defined properties. Designers can incorporate smart objects into building models, ranging from basic components like doors and windows to more complex design configurations such as building cores and facade elements [19,40].…”

BIM efficiency and address issues such as data loss and outdated information throughout the design, construction, and management phases of projects. A systematic literature review was conducted, encompassing research articles published from 2005 to 2023, to examine the involvement of smart objects in BIM integration. Out of the 98 studies identified, it was revealed that smart objects play a crucial role in three primary stages of BIM implementation: pre-construction (architectural design), construction (management and progress monitoring), and post-construction (applications in smart buildings and documentation of existing and historical buildings). A comprehensive analysis of these studies led to the development of a current workflow, detailing the various categories of smart objects, their application areas, and the procedures involved in their creation. The analysis also provides insights into the methodologies, tools, and software crucial for BIM integration, along with potential challenges that may arise. It is anticipated that the use of smart objects as representatives of real building elements will become a core component of the AEC industry.

“…Consequently, the researchers discovered that IFC has a limitation to establish a direct data exchange as there are data loss and distortions within a BIM system between LCC and LCA. Bueno and Fabricio (2017) argue that a universal data exchange protocol such as IFC is required to be developed further to calculate and integrate the LCC and LCA study results simultaneously. Thus, this research aims at examining BIM as an information management platform for housing refurbishment if it is feasible to formulate the LCC and LCA calculation simultaneously, and cope with different refurbishment alternatives in terms of refurbishment material specifications.…”

Journal: FacilitiesManuscript ID f-05-2017-0048.R2 Manuscript Type: Original Article AbstractPurpose -The aim of this research is to examine if BIM is feasible as an information management platform to determine a financially and environmentally affordable housing refurbishment solution based on the LCC and LCA calculation.Design/methodology/approach -A case study in conjunction with BIM simulation approach using BIM tools was adopted to identify the feasibility of BIM for the simultaneous formulation of LCC and LCA in housing refurbishment.Findings -This research reveals that BIM is a suitable for the information management platform to enable construction professionals to consider trade-off relationship between LCC and LCA simultaneously, and determine the most financially and environmentally affordable refurbishment solution. The interoperability issues in data exchange among different BIM tools and unstandardized BIM object libraries with incomplete datasets of construction materials are recognized as the major shortcomings in a BIM system. Essential remedial actions to overcome the shortcomings in the current BIM tools are identified. Research limitations/implications -Actual housing information and various refurbishment materialsfor the BIM simulation are limited.Practical implications -This research contribute to supporting construction professionals to prepare practical BIM adoption for the integration of the LCC and LCA that can significantly improve early decision makings on sustainable housing refurbishment.Originality/value -This research will contribute to providing proper remedial actions to overcome the shortcomings in the current BIM tools, and insights for construction professionals to understand the implication of BIM-embedded housing refurbishment.
