Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue of Sustainability is intended to feature ‘state-of-the-technology’ research related to the OpenBIM approach to all compliant design aspects of the built environment and their impact on sustainability. The focus should be on the design phase of the project. The compliance aspect may either focus on regulatory or contractual requirements. The subject of compliance may either be the design of any aspect of the built environment or on the sustainability itself.
We anticipate submissions from researchers working on a variety of approaches to address the rising costs of compliance and non-compliance and the long-terms impact of sustainability.
Dr. Johannes Dimyadi
Guest Editor
