A mixed review of the adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for sustainability
TLDR
A mixed review to determine the current state-of-the-art BIM development for sustainability reveals that although there has been a significant amount of research and development about the use of BIM during various project phases, little work has been conducted about how it could be applied in refurbishment and demolition.About:

Lukman Akanbi,Lukumon O. Oyedele,Olugbenga O. Akinade,Anuoluwapo O. Ajayi,Manuel Davila Delgado,Muhammad Bilal,Sururah A. Bello +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a BIM-based Whole-life Performance Estimator (BWPE) for appraising the salvage performance of structural components of buildings right from the design stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
BIM-enabled facilities operation and maintenance: A review
TL;DR: The content analysis results show that research on BIM for O&M is still in its early stage and most of the current research has focused on energy management, and adopting the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Framework is a potential starting point to address this issue.
