- This paper presents a methodology to facilitate automating sustainability compliance checking using the concept of Building information modelling. The work is significant because it presents a strategy which has greatly advanced the process of automating complex sets of construction regulations. The regBIM project described in the output has been incorporated by the building research establishment (BRE) to develop the IT infrastructure required to enable automatic BREEAM assessment. https://www.bre.co.uk/page.jsp?id=3357. This paper has gained international recognition. Based on this paper, the author was invited as a keynote speaker to ByondBIM event in Ghent where the strategy was discussed in detailed. http://www.beyondbim.be/2016/12/15/edition-2017/
