BIM-based building circularity assessment: conceptual framework (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Qazzaz, I., Osorio-Sandoval, C., Tokbolat, S., & Thermou, G. (2023, August). BIM-based building circularity assessment: conceptual framework. Presented at 20th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies, University of Nottingham, UK

The construction sector contributes substantially to the consumption of raw materials and the production of waste. Traditional building design strategies are based on an unsustainable economic linear model. Transition to the circular economy (CE) par...

A BIM-based conceptual framework for embodied carbon assessment (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hunt, J., & Osorio-Sandoval, C. A. (2023, August). A BIM-based conceptual framework for embodied carbon assessment. Presented at 20th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies – SET 2023, Nottingham, UK

Understanding the integration of BIM as an enabling factor in embodied carbon (EC) assessment is becoming exponentially vital as the global climate crisis accelerates. This paper introduces a BIM-based conceptual framework to quantify the EC of a bui... Read More about A BIM-based conceptual framework for embodied carbon assessment.

Assessing Embodied Carbon in Structural Models: A Building Information Modelling-Based Approach (2023)
Journal Article
Hunt, J., & Osorio-Sandoval, C. A. (2023). Assessing Embodied Carbon in Structural Models: A Building Information Modelling-Based Approach. Buildings, 13(7), Article 1679. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings13071679

The construction industry’s recognition of the importance of embodied carbon (EC) drives the need for streamlined early-stage EC assessment. The adoption of building information modelling (BIM) allows for integrating EC assessment into current workfl...
