Approximately half of the annual global energy supply is consumed in constructing,
operating, and maintaining buildings. Because most of this energy comes from fossil fuels, it …

Buildings use approximately 48% of global energy each year in their construction and
operation as embodied and operating energy. The embodied energy is used directly …

Buildings consume nearly 40% of global energy annually in their production, operation,
maintenance, replacement and demolition stages. Energy consumed in their life cycle …

Assessment of the energy associated with the material production, transportation and
construction of buildings provides an opportunity for reducing the use of energy and …

In high-density, high-rise cities such as Hong Kong, buildings account for nearly 90% of
energy consumption and 61% of the carbon emissions. Therefore, it is important to study the …

A novel holistic framework was established using Building Information Modelling (BIM) to
estimate accurately the potential of natural ventilation of residential high-rise buildings. This …

Purpose The construction industry has been evolving in recent years through the adoption of
smart tools such as building information modeling to reduce the complexity in the …

Purpose–The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of using 3D simulation
transfer processes to streamline the environmental assessment of buildings that have been …

Given the ability of building information models (BIM) to serve as a multidisciplinary data
repository, this study attempts to explore and exploit the sustainability value of BIM in …

Considerable efforts have been made to reduce buildings' operational energy use over the
last decades, but little attention has been paid to reduce the material transportation and …
