الملخص

Large amounts of CO 2 are released into the atmosphere throughout the life cycle of a building starting from the production of materials and products, in the construction phase of the building itself, in the site setting, the renovations, the later rehabilitation, and up to the final demolition. Hence, this thesis aims to investigate the potential of using Building Information Modeling (BIM) in making informed decisions that can help in reducing CO 2 emissions in the life cycle of built environment projects. This study has used a mixed method approach that includes literature review, a case study and semistructured interviews. The literature investigates the related various applications of BIM, its barriers, challenges, and underlying benefits, as well as its ability to reduce CO 2 emissions through smart design decisions. Also, a case study is used to validate BIM’s ability to calculate a building’s CO 2 emissions. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with construction professionals to capture their viewpoints on the possible contributions of BIM to CO 2 emission reduction in the construction sector. The research outcomes are presented through data analysis from the BIM model, supported by insights obtained by interviews. This integrated approach combines theoretical insights from the literature with practical applications and specialist feedback to provide a thorough understanding of BIM's essential contribution in tackling the need of CO 2 emission reduction in the construction sector. This research is anticipated to act as a catalyst for sustainable decision-making in the construction sector.
