Abstract

Incorporating BIM and green buildings is a continuous task in the construction industry to achieve sustainable designs and achieve energy efficiency and performance. It entails integrating BIM, building energy performance assessment and sustainable design. Achieving GreenBIM in the construction industry has, however, struggled to achieve this successfully. This study identified the strategies for achieving the implementation of GreenBIM in a developing country context. Data was collected using a well-structured questionnaire from construction industry professionals in South Africa. The collected data were appropriately analysed. It was found that industry leadership, support assistance and promotion of BIM education programmes were the top three strategies for achieving GreenBIM. The study identified and ranked the strategies. This is important for industry stakeholders to achieve the implementation of GreenBIM
