Combining Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Choosing by Advantages (CBA) to Optimally Select Sustainable Design-Construction Solutions for Building Envelope
Nowadays, the construction industry is facing the fact that resources are becoming scarcer and the cost of raw materials and energy is increasing. At the same time, global warming is also a difficult problem for scientists as construction projects emit too much CO2 during their lifecycle. The urgent task for designers now is to find alternative materials and design solutions that optimize energy consumption, save resources, and reduce CO2 emissions. To accomplish this task, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and software in this ecosystem are not only used for modeling (3D), time simulation (4D), quantity measurement (5D) but also for energy consumption simulation. This study focuses on using BIM to simulate energy consumption for various types of building envelope materials, combined with the Choosing by Advantages (CBA) method, a multi-criteria decision-making method that has been widely applied in selecting design options, materials, and contractors related to sustainable construction. The result of this research is a simple and typical example of combining BIM and CBA to select sustainable design-construction options for the building envelope system and can be developed to apply to solve more complex problems related to sustainable design-construction in the future.
