Tiivistelmä
The impact of the activities of man on the environment especially in the construction industry is undeniably huge. Our immediate environment today is mostly covered by buildings and structures. These buildings in turn consume and emit large amounts of energy throughout their lifecycle thereby posing numerous threats to the environment. Over the years, measures have been taken to mitigate or eliminate the sources and effects of these impacts on the environment. These measures aim at restoring the ‘greenness’ and purity of the natural environment as much as possible. This process is alternatively, known as sustainability. Previously, there has been a lot of studies and researches sustainability practices. One method that has contributed tremendously to restoring the sustainability of the environment is by awarding Sustainable building certifications to the buildings. These are certificates awarded to buildings because of the sustainable practices involved in the process and meeting the standards of the rating system. This research is aimed at evaluating the attributes, criteria sets, weights and credits required to earn a certain level of green certification and how they can be supported by the implementation of Building information modelling.
The rating systems used in this research were selected due to their popularity in Europe. They include: BREEAM; LEED; DGNB and HQE. The criteria sets for these certification systems were analyzed and a comparative analysis was done to compare these rating systems, their requirements, credits and BIM implementation.
First of all, a background study of previous literature on this issue was done giving an overview of the sustainability rating systems and BIM. Next, a short exposition of BIM and Green BIM was done showing the status quo, application and future projection of BIM into sustainability. Then a comparative analysis of these systems based on certain parameters was made such as categories, similarities, rating systems. The results of the analysis made were evaluated in relation to and an existing already awarded LEED platinum building in Berlin. From the results of the evaluation, conclusions and recommendations for improving the present status as well as projections for future use of BIM in sustainability certification were deduced.
