Green Building: Toward a Sustainable Future The energy efficiency of a building is determined by the energy consumption per square meter of floor area, allowing for comparisons against established benchmarks for common building types. The typical benchmark is the median level of performance of all the buildings in a given category and good practice. …
In the ever-evolving landscape of architecture and construction, the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has emerged as a transformative force. This combination not only redefines the way we approach building design but also sets new standards for sustainability. In the forefront of modern architectural practices, BIM and LCA combine …
