| dc.description.abstract | Green Building Information Modelling (Green
BIM) is a novel approach to address the ever-growing need
for sustainability in the built environment. It offers a more
standardized way to create buildings, which in turn
optimizes building performance while meeting green
building requirements. However, BIM adoption still faces
significant barriers, despite the fact that it could improve
the efficiency of sustainable building projects. Hence, this
study aims to determine the advantages of using Green BIM,
as well as implementation barriers of BIM for Green
Building construction in Sri Lanka. Mixed approach was
followed in carrying out the study. A questionnaire was
developed based on identified barriers from the literature
review, to determine the most significant barriers. Identified
barriers were analyzed using RII method. Semi structured
interviews were also carried out to determine the
significance of adopting BIM for Green Building
construction. A content analysis was conducted for the
qualitative data obtained through semi structured interview
and RII (Relative Importance Index) analysis was carried
out for quantitative data. Analysis of the responses
demonstrated that " Not receiving enough client support and
government support," followed by "Inadequate vision of
BIM benefits" and "Lack of well-developed practical
strategies for implementing Green BIM” were the most
significant barriers. The study also presented possible
solutions for Green BIM implementation barriers. Further,
the study recommends some actions that the Government
and educational institutes should take to overcome barriers
in implementing Green BIM and is needed to identify to
mandate BIM and to develop strategies in mitigating
barriers of Green BIM implantation. | en_US |
