| Abstract |
This paper proposes a methodology to analyze the impacts of building information modeling (BIM)-based design validation on reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in architecture, engineering, and construction projects. In order to validate the applicability of the proposed methodology, case studies of two BIM-based projects in South Korea were conducted. Through the BIM-based design validation process, 381 and 136 design errors were detected and 108 and 21 rework were prevented in Case 1 and Case 2, respectively. As the results, 384.2 tonne (0.5%) and 79.9 tonne (0.7%) of total GHG that might be emitted in the production stage of construction materials of the two projects were prevented by BIM-based design validation. |
