The future of the sustainable green architecture through technology

Abstract

ABSTRACT Green and sustainable buildings have gained a lot of importance in recent years due to growing environmental concerns where developed and developing countries have their own evaluation systems and methods of qualifying green or sustainable construction. According to Egypt Vision 2030: Sustainable Development Strategy, Egypt’s population is expected to increase significantly. Therefore, this will require an increase in the percentage of areas planned and built, resulting in more construction sites and land areas being used to cover this alarmingly rapid demographic increase. There is an urgent need to provide guidelines and strategies for the development of the construction sector as a catalyst for the green building, therefore effective decisions on the sustainable design of the building facility can be made only during the early design and pre-construction stages. Traditional planning and construction does not support the possibility of such early decisions. There is a lack of integration in design procedures leading to an ineffective process of previously changing the design to achieve a sustainable building-friendly environment So BIM represents a shift in the traditional process of delivering buildings, where the Green Building Information Model (BIM) is a data provider application to assess energy performance and sustainability. As Green BIM’s extensive and practical application remains largely unrealized. Failure to understand the application of sustainability measures to the BIM design process is a major obstacle. So that there is a need to create a consensus between BIM and green buildings, this paper provides BIM applications in design support, from green buildings and future research trends in this area.
