Abstract

This paper deals with sustainable design and construction, since the interest in and the awareness of green design has grown dramatically in the past several years and the different rating systems used worldwide the main focus will be on LEED; the different LEED certifications available, the process of the certifications, and the criteria on which the certification consider. Additionally, it will relate its new trends with each other by showing how building information modeling can be used to achieve a sustainable design. The powerful tools of building information modeling (BIM) will be discussed that can ease and aid the process of the LEED certification of a building. This paper also reports a demonstration pertinent to the implementation BIM can provide to achieve a sustainable green design. Two case studies are investigated; the first case study is a LEED Gold certified 128-story tower in Shanghai, China while the second is a LEED Platinum certified 13-Story building in San Francisco, USA.
