| Summary: | Neither
Building Information Modelling (BIM) nor Green Star certification has yet to be widely adopted in the New Zealand
construction industry. This paper, therefore, aims to encourage their
development by examining the relationship between BIM adoption and Green Star
certification. The qualitative approach using 21 semi-structured interviews
with the construction professionals was
conducted. The results indicate that despite the absence of a direct
link, integrating BIM with Green Star has the potential to accelerate the Green
Star uptake in New Zealand. However, BIM and Green Star uptake have two
separated processes along with the lack of client demand for either BIM or Green Star projects were identified as the significant barriers to
the integration. Among eight solutions recommended from the interviewees,
providing education and training in both BIM and
Green Star for clients and construction practitioners plays a key role. This research contributes to the current
knowledge of BIM and Green Star in New Zealand by providing baseline
information to the NZGBC, construction stakeholders, and the government that
allows for the formulation of effective strategies to be used to develop both
BIM and Green Star. |
