Abstract
This study intends to discover the challenges of implementing BIM in the Malaysian architecture industry to further integrate BIM with Malaysia's green building rating tool, the Green Building Index (GBI). This is to further encourage more green buildings to be built in Malaysia. The outcome of this study recognises the past examinations on BIM implementation that includes definitions, BIM applications, BIM benefits, and BIM future challenges. A qualitative approach using structured interviews was directed to designers to understand the challenges of adapting BIM for green buildings projects in Malaysia. Thus, this study provides insights on BIM application that could positively emerge as a notable tool to enhance green buildings that can accelerate the progress of sustainability within the construction industry in Malaysia. Additionally, this study contributes towards raising awareness among Malaysian architectural firms to invest in BIM as a main tool in designing green buildings.
