Project title: Developing a BIM-Based Tool to Automate Green Buildings Assessment: The Case of Jordan Green Building Guide.
Project outline:
In his research, Omar investigates the feasibility of automating building sustainability assessment. Traditionally, the sustainability assessment of buildings tends to be manual, error-prone, time-consuming, and very complex. Green building standards are often blamed as it consists of a large number of criteria, complex processing, simulations, and analysis tasks. Therefore, Omar aims in his research to develop a BIM-based tool to automate the sustainability assessment of buildings. Jordan Green Building Guide is selected in Omar's research, focusing on the Energy Efficiency, Indoor Environment, and Materials categories.
