A BIM-based framework for designing sustainable structures through the reuse of precast concrete components (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Al-Jawhar, H., Thermou, G., Osorio-Sandoval, C., & Tokbolat, S. (2023). A BIM-based framework for designing sustainable structures through the reuse of precast concrete components. In Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (201-210)

The widespread use of concrete within the global construction sector is primarily attributed to its inherent qualities of resilience, versatility, longevity, and facilitation of economic growth. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that this popular materi... Read More about A BIM-based framework for designing sustainable structures through the reuse of precast concrete components.

BIM-based building circularity assessment: conceptual framework (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Al-Qazzaz, I., Osorio-Sandoval, C., Tokbolat, S., & Thermou, G. (2023). BIM-based building circularity assessment: conceptual framework. In Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (130-137)

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)
Conference Proceeding
Hunt, J., & Osorio-Sandoval, C. A. (2023). A BIM-based conceptual framework for embodied carbon assessment. In SET2023 : 20th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies 15th to 17th August 2023, Nottingham, UK: Sustainable Energy Technologies 2023 Conference Proceedings. Volume 1 (387-394)

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.

Conference Proceeding
Fadoul, A., Tizani, W., & Osorio-Sandoval, C. A. (2020). A Knowledge-Based Model for Constructability Assessment of Buildings Design Using BIM. In E. Toledo Santos, & S. Scheer (Eds.), Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering: ICCCBE 2020 (147-159). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-51295-8_13

Economic and time efficiency can be attained in the construction industry by applying the principles of constructability. Existing empirical studies demonstrate that incorporating these principles into initial stages of design maximise outcomes for a...
