Resumen:Rapid urbanization and environmental challenges necessitate innovative construction solutions in Egypt. This study presents a 6D Green Building Information Modeling (BIM) framework designed to enhance sustainability, reduce costs, and optimize construction processes. Integrating energy consumption, carbon footprint, and lifecycle performance metrics, the framework addresses critical gaps in Egypt’s construction sector, including limited technical expertise, high costs, and regulatory challenges. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining global case study analysis, 3D modeling using Autodesk Revit, energy simulations with Autodesk Insight, and project scheduling through Primavera P6. Expert interviews with industry professionals further refined and validated the framework, ensuring its practicality and adaptability to Egypt’s unique socio-economic context. Key findings highlight the framework’s ability to reduce project costs through accurate 3D models, improve scheduling efficiency with 4D and 5D simulations, and enhance sustainability with 6D analyses of energy, water, and photovoltaic systems. The framework not only supports Egypt Vision 2030’s sustainability goals but also provides a clear, step-by-step implementation process using widely adopted tools. This research contributes a comprehensive, scalable model for sustainable construction, offering practical solutions to industry stakeholders. Its adaptable nature makes it relevant for other developing countries facing similar challenges, positioning BIM as a transformative tool for achieving greener, more efficient construction practices.
