Towards a holistic modelling framework for embodied carbon and waste in the building lifecycle

摘要: As the building industry proceeds in direction of low impact buildings, research attention is being drawn towards reduction carbon dioxide emission and waste. Starting from design construction to operation demolition, various materials are used throughout whole lifecycle involving significant energy consumption waste generation. Building Information Modelling (BIM) emerging as a tool that can support holistic design-decision making for reducing embodied production lifecycle. This study aims establish framework assessing underpinned by BIM technology. On basis current review, considered include functional modules computation. There module estimation, knowledge-base demolition methods, repository components information, an inventory materials’ carbon. Through both static 3D model visualisation dynamic modelling supported framework, (carbon), associated costs be analysed boundary cradle-to-gate, construction, operation, demolition. The proposed provides possibility analyse different perspectives including costs. It brings together existing segmented estimation into unified model, so interactions between parameters through phases better understood. Thus, it improve optimal development. applicability this anticipated developed tested on industrial projects near future.
