Towards Net-Zero Construction Projects by Applying BIM-Enabled Circular Economy
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector produces a large sum of the global carbon emissions. Emerging systems and technology, coupled with a rapid modernisation within the construction industry, have been developed as a response to challenges of maintaining sustainable practices and procedures during the whole project life cycle. The technological advancement of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the focus of this research: to determine its potential to facilitate the adoption of Circular Economy (CE) principles to empower the path towards net-zero carbon within the built environment. The employed research methods include a systematic literature review and a questionnaire survey to collect data from construction professionals on the potentials of using BIM to enhance circularity in the built environment projects. Existing BIM practices for sustainability within the built environment could in this chapter be identified to align with the concept of the CE, which will yield further strategies aiming to maintain the path towards net-zero carbon construction projects in the future. Following the analysis of the data collected, a conceptual framework is developed to demonstrate how BIM features facilitate CE principles and empower sustainability and resource efficiency within construction projects. To achieve the full potential benefits emerging from the BIM utilisation in a CE context, industry professionals and stakeholders should comprehend the acquired BIM knowledge and appliance for sustainable practices. The BIM competencies currently employed by industry professionals could show the current existence of an interconnection between BIM and CE.
