Research on the Carbon Footprint of Steel Structure during Materialization Stage Based on BIM
The lightweight and recyclable characteristics of steel structure can greatly reduce environmental damage. However, there are limited research studies examining the carbon footprint of steel structure with advanced technology, for example, building information modeling (BIM). BIM provides a cloud platform to perform data interaction and various simulations at the beginning of project. This paper aims to develop a BIM-based method to evaluate the potential of carbon footprint reduction during the materialization stage of steel structure (compared with concrete-steel structure). Taking two public buildings in Beijing as examples for this study, the carbon footprints of different materials were calculated. This study provides a systematic and efficient BIM approach to measure the carbon footprint of new buildings and the reduction potential of steel structure. It provides valuable assets for helping governments, constructors, and designers to achieve sustainable construction.
