Implication of BIM on selected aspects of sustainability

Abstract

Sustainability in civil engineering industry represents space for the subject of discussions and extensive research opportunities. On the other hand, this represents worldwide pressure to explore this area. Sustainability in the context of Building Information Modelling technology is also often a controversial topic. BIM technology brings many benefits. Exploring these technologies from the field of sustainability and environmental aspects is more than desirable in the light of global developments in this field. The aim of the research was to point out and propose a structure of environmental parameters based on the acquired knowledge, which will be incorporated into the emerging database of elements - information models. The paper presents a proposal for the structure of the database of structural elements taking into account cost parameters, time parameters, environmental parameters and life parameters, points out the main advantages of the proposed database and defines the aims of further research. The aim of the paper was to analyse the current state and possibilities of implication of certification systems for sustainable construction and describe the current state and impact of BIM implication on selected aspects by survey.
