Assessment Results

Eco-friendly building designs that use building information modeling (BIM) have become popular, and a variety of eco-friendly building assessment technologies that take advantage of BIM are being developed. However, existing building environmental performance assessment technologies that use BIM are linked to external assessment tools, and there exist compatibility issues among programs; it requires a considerable amount of time to address these problems, owing to the lack of experts who can operate the programs. This study aims to develop eco-friendly templates for assessing the embodied environmental impact of buildings using BIM authoring tools as part of the development of BIM-based building life cycle assessment (LCA) technologies. Therefore, an embodied environmental impact unit database was developed, for major building materials during production and operating stages, to perform embodied environmental impact assessments. Moreover, a major structural element library that uses the database was developed and a function was created to produce building environmental performance assessment results tables, making it possible to review the eco-friendliness of buildings. A case study analysis was performed to review the feasibility of the environmental performance assessment technologies. The results showed a less than 5% effective error rate in the assessment results that were obtained using the technology developed in this study compared with the assessment results based on the actual calculation and operating stage energy consumption figures, which proves the reliability of the proposed approach.

Building Information

Traditional energy analysis in Building Information Modeling (BIM) only accounts for the energy requirements of building operations during a portion of the occupancy phase of the building’s life cycle and as such is unable to quantify the true impact of buildings on the environment. Specifically, the typical energy analysis in BIM does not account for the energy associated with resource formation, recycling, and demolition. Therefore, a comprehensive method is required to analyze the true environmental impact of buildings. Emergy analysis can offer a holistic approach to account for the environmental cost of activities involved in building construction and operation in all its life cycle phases from resource formation to demolition. As such, the integration of emergy analysis with BIM can result in the development of a holistic sustainability performance tool. Therefore, this study aimed at developing a comprehensive framework for the integration of emergy analysis with existing Building Information Modeling tools. The proposed framework was validated using a case study involving a test building element of 8’ × 8’ composite wall. The case study demonstrated the successful integration of emergy analysis with Revit®2021 using the inbuilt features of Revit and external tools such as MS Excel. The framework developed in this study will help in accurately determining the environmental cost of the buildings, which will help in selecting environment-friendly building materials and systems. In addition, the integration of emergy into BIM will allow a comparison of various built environment alternatives enabling designers to make sustainable decisions during the design phase.

Materials Used

The housing sector of Malaysia plays a very prominent role in meeting the major requirements of accommodation throughout the country. However, this sector consumes a handsome amount of resources among which the construction materials are a prime resource. Besides the valuable contribution of housing sector, the building materials used make a significant contribution in embodied CO2 emissions. In order to access the magnitude of CO2 from housing sector, it is necessary that effect of embodied CO2 emissions from the materials used in conventional housing construction in Malaysia shall also be studied. This study focuses on the embodied CO2 emission from the materials used in construction of a typical low cost house which are commonly adopted in Malaysia. The virtual model of selected single storey low cost house was developed using Building Information Modeling (BIM) concept. The results highlighted that bricks (37%), concrete (22%), mild steel (19%), steel rebar (7%) and roof tiles (6%) are the top five materials responsible for CO2 emissions. The overall contribution of single storey house in terms of embodied CO2 emissions is observed to be 34 kg-CO2 / sq. ft. This study has helped to highlight the potential contribution of conventional materials used in typical housing sector of Malaysia.

<p>目前國內有關建築資訊塑模(Building Information Modeling, 簡稱BIM)與維運需求項目並沒有產生直接對應。根據國外文獻整理，有關建築物維運管理(Facilities Management，簡稱FM)目前常用的標準如ISO55000(2014)、ISO 19650、BS1192-4(2014)、與共同資料環境(Common Data Environment,簡稱CDE)與營建資訊的交付標準(Construction Operations Building Information Exchange，簡稱COBie)等。本研究提出建築物的維運資料架構與系統建立流程，它包含BIM模型建置、IFC資料轉檔、共同資料庫建立與建築物維運系統的發展四個階段。隨著施工過程中，逐步建立BIM竣工模型的建材與設備資料，才能達成以建築物生命週期履歷落實標準化維運管理的目標。本計畫以內政部營建署執行中的三個代辦工程討論竣工模型之建材與設備交付資訊項目。目的是協助公部門工程主辦機關從施工階段的BIM執行契約可延伸到竣工階段的維運資料。本研究的成果將提供一個通用的維運資料架構與系統雛形，協助政府部門可用於執行BIM契約資料交付。</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>The data translation between Building Information Modeling(BIM) and Facilities Management(FM) has not been built an automatic mechanism in Taiwan currently. According to the literature review, the standards related to building FM include ISO55000 (2014), ISO 19650, BS1192-4 (2014), Common Data Environment (CDE), and Construction Operations Building Information Exchange, (COBie). The thesis proposes a framework and data delivery process for building maintenance data translation. The process includes four stages of BIM model data input, IFC data export, CDE database, and FM system development. With the construction process, the materials and equipment data will be embedded into the completion model. The completion model will assist to achieve the goal of implementing standardized maintenance management on the building life cycle. The thesis discusses the building materials and equipment delivery information of the completed model with three public-work cases by Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the Interior. The purpose is to assist the BIM model data can link the construction to the maintenance and operation stage. The results will provide a general data requirement table system porotype that can assist the government departments to execute BIM contracts. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
