| Resumen: | The construction industry plays a critical role in global carbon emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Embodied carbon, which encompasses all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the extraction, production, transportation, and construction of materials, has become a critical focus in sustainable design. Building Information Modeling (BIM), with tools such as Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Forma, One Click LCA and Tully, among others, offers opportunities to streamline embodied carbon analysis through data integration and automation. The focus of this research is to provide an accessible and easy-to-use BIM methodology for capturing and managing information derived embodied carbon analysis, highlighting its workflows, benefits, challenges, and potential for sustainable design practices. Through a case study, the Revit to Forma methodology demonstrates how both tools interact and can enable architects, engineers, and contractors to make informed decisions that reduce the environmental impact of construction projects at all stages of design and construction. This paper outlines three key processes: 3D modeling, data mapping to objects in the Building Information Modelling (BIM) model, and data mapping from the model in the platform Forma. The findings contribute to the advancement of BIM methodology as a key tool for guiding informed decision making for green buildings projects. |
