“…So, in common figure (5), ZCA buildings appear to have a certain set of features and technologies [7] Fig . 5 Although the Egyptian national energy strategy has no reference to Zero-carbon architecture, no literature provides any data about existing ZCA in Egypt, and only a small number of researches tackle the subject, so the ZCA solution seems to fit perfectly.…”

Global warming is one of the most public issues that occupy the minds of everyone, as modern societies suffer from total depends on energy, which causes increased carbon emissions and greenhouse gases, which cause global warming.The issue of research is therefore to reduce carbon emissions in the building sector using the principles of zero-carbon architecture (ZCA) which produces at least as much energy as it uses in a year, which means obtaining green architecture using modern technologies and use alternative energy to reduce energy consumption.The research aims to approach and measure Zero Carbon Architecture in Egypt (ZCAE), then clarification the returns of applying ZCA for the state and scenarios of ZCA application in Egypt, New Damietta city by using smart material & pv A photovoltaic system to reduce the consumption of energy uses to obtaining ZCA and this confirmed by a questionnaire for specialists, which was placed as an appendix ,then Using an analytical method to explore and learn from some of the examples applied to ZCA in the world, and to obtain results and principles that have been applied in the applied research as a case study.The results of the research were to obtain a modified model applied ZCA for an industrial building and to maximize the results by applying it to the industrial zone, as well as making a measurement for ZCA using zero tool application.

“…It has been widely cited as a useful approach, contributing to the reduction of resource waste and human health risks during construction [4]. For example, to improve high-efficiency of construction and achieve the goals of cost-saving in construction industry, the United Kingdom (UK), has applied technology of information modeling and visualization to strengthen the applications of sustainable buildings in the last decade [5]. Moreover, the economic benefits of sustainability on buildings have gradually emerged.…”

China's construction industry is facing significant challenges in achieving sustainable development and digital operations. Integrating building information modeling (BIM) and sustainable construction is a good method for achieving these goals. However, barriers impact the applications of BIM technology to sustainable buildings, resulting in significant cost loss and time. As such, it is important to identify the constraints, hindering the application of BIM technology in sustainable buildings. This study used the factor analysis method, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the key constraints and conducted a questionnaire survey with 389 respondents to investigate the applications of BIM technology in sustainable building projects. The results showed that there were four main constraining factors: "Public participation", "technology application", "economic cost", and "application management"; "public participation" was particularly important. The study offers practical and managerial implications based on the findings for local government and the private sector and thus can improve the implementation of BIM technology in sustainable buildings and contribute to the accomplishment of China's sustainable development goals.

“…Digital tools are used in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry for the last 30 years. Nonetheless, the attention of the industry has been captured strongly in recent years by the irruption of new tools and methods for improving information management over the project lifecycle (Hetherington et al, 2010). The most important of these contemporary trends is Building Information Modelling (BIM), which encapsulates a group of tools, processes and technologies able to manage information for a building, its performance, planning and operation (Eastman et al, 2011;Arayici, 2015).…”

Interoperability in BIM is low and the focus is on 3D coordination. Despite the available standards including IFC and IDM, there is still no clear guidance how such standards can be effectively used for performance based design. Thus, early collaboration is discouraged and performance analysis is conducted as late as possible to minimize the number of information exchanges, leading to difficulties and costly changes in design that is almost completed. Aim is to propose an interoperability specification development approach for performance based design through the Design4Energy case study project. Findings show that the design process had increased flexibility, shared understanding between stakeholders about what information nuggets should be provided from whom to whom, at what stage, using which tool and data model. It can guide for the integrated BIM practice and help developing BIM execution plans for Level 2 BIM while paving the way for Level 3 BIM.
