However, early design stage sustainability analysis remains problematic because of the conflicting factors affecting sustainability, the limited and fragmented project data in hand and deficiencies of existing sustainability analysis software for quick evaluation of conceptual design alternatives. Building Information Modelling's (BIM) information management and integration capabilities present opportunities to support early design sustainability analysis. In this paper, early findings of an on-going BIM based early design sustainability analysis application development project are presented. Through literature review and in-depth interviews with a sustainability professional, an information categorization framework for quick evaluation of different conceptual design alternatives from a sustainability point of view is developed. The framework guides further stages of the application development project and also supports BIM Execution Planning for projects where holistic early design sustainability analysis is intended. date: 2014-03-26 date_type: published publisher: Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) official_url: http://ascpro0.ascweb.org/archives/cd/2014/paper/CPRT194002014.pdf oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1702977 lyricists_name: Cidik, Mustafa lyricists_id: MSCID92 actors_name: Cidik, Mustafa actors_id: MSCID92 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: 50th Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Annual International Conference Proceedings place_of_pub: Blacksburg, Virginia event_title: 50th Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Annual International Conference event_location: Washington DC, USA event_dates: 26 March 2014 - 28 March 2014 institution: 50th Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Annual International Conference book_title: Proceedings of the 50th ASC Annual International Conference 2014 citation: Cidik, M; Boyd, D; Hill, S; Thurairajah, N; (2014) BIM and conceptual design sustainability analysis: An information categorization framework.
