A REVIEW OF BIM-DRIVEN ENVIRONMENTAL OPTIMIZATION IN CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES
Filip Pavka
Abstract:
The construction industry remains one of the largest contributors to global energy use and carbon emissions, which emphasizes the continuing importance of sustainable approaches. This literature review investigates how Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been employed to support sustainability in construction, drawing on academic publications from 2014 to 2024. The review considers the ways in which BIM has been integrated into design, construction, operation, and end-of-life processes to improve environmental performance. Attention is given to its interaction with methods such as lifecycle assessment, waste management, offsite construction, and energy analysis. Through the synthesis of recent research, the study highlights how BIM has evolved from a digital modeling tool into a broader framework that enables more informed decision-making and responsible resource management within the built environment.
