A critical comparison of green building rating systems
Dat Tien Doan,Ali GhaffarianHoseini,Nicola Naismith,Tongrui Zhang,Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini,Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini,John Tookey +6 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of the development of green rating systems is presented in this article, where the authors identify the similarity, difference, strength and weakness of green ratings, and examine whether they fully assess the projects in all aspects of sustainability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of nD BIM Integrated Knowledge-based Building Management System (BIM-IKBMS) for inspecting post-construction energy efficiency
Ali GhaffarianHoseini,Tongrui Zhang,Okechukwu Nwadigo,Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini,Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini,Nicola Naismith,John Tookey,Kaamran Raahemifar +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an Integrated Knowledge-based Building Management System using nD BIM applications (BIM-IKBMS) was proposed to advance the successful implementation of sustainable building performances.
Journal ArticleDOI
ND BIM-integrated knowledge-based building management: Inspecting post-construction energy efficiency
Ali GhaffarianHoseini,Tongrui Zhang,Nicola Naismith,Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini,Dat Tien Doan,Attiq Ur Rehman,Okechukwu Nwadigo,John Tookey +7 more
TL;DR: This study identifies the interoperability of the proposed framework by standardizing communication protocols, data formats, naming convention, evaluation systems, and modulization and generates a range of detailed 3-hierarchical Icam DEFinitions for Function Modeling 0 (IDEF0) diagrams outlining the proposed nD BIM-IKBMS structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examining Green Star certification uptake and its relationship with Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption in New Zealand.
Dat Tien Doan,Ali GhaffarianHoseini,Nicola Naismith,Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini,Tongrui Zhang,John Tookey +5 more
TL;DR: The research offers a variety of suggestions to encourage Green Star development, with more extensive education playing a critical role, combined with greater integration of BIM with Green Star.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examining critical perspectives on Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption in New Zealand
Dat Tien Doan,Ali GhaffarianHoseini,Nicola Naismith,Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini,Tongrui Zhang,John Tookey +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the perspectives of the key actors in the New Zealand construction industry towards BIM adoption, including what BIM is, BIM knowledge and understanding, benefits of BIM, and challenges/barriers to BIM.
