Abstract

The recent mandatory implementation of the Energy Conservation Building Code has made green building (GB) a national agenda in India. However, the statistics for existing GB growth shows comparatively slower progress in Eastern India compared to the rest of the country. Building information modelling (BIM) has helped in adopting GB culture in many countries. The current research noted that BIM is in the nascent stage in Eastern India and hence systematically analysed its causes through an online survey of 256 professionals followed by face-to-face interviews of 20 experts. The significance of 14 BIM applications and criticality (frequency and impact) of 12 BIM adoption challenges were addressed. It was reported that despite the significance of BIM is realised, its use is limited to visualisation. Different design teams prefer traditional software for convenience, which often have mutual incompatibility. The designers from the Eastern Indian generally lag in coordination and collaboration compared to their peers. For many GB projects energy simulations are outsourced at the pre-final stage. All of the BIM adoption challenges were significant, but individual perceptions were strong. Experts commented on how BIM acts as a double-edged sword for the current industry and recommended three distinct sets of course of action for the government, BIM software companies and the industry. Probing knowledge elicited from this research is expected to contribute significantly to the country’s mission to adhere to energy efficiency.
