The construction industry has been evolving to embrace sustainability, this has highlighted the necessity to inspect sustainable performances throughout the post-construction building life-cycle. The application of relevant building management systems (BMS) to achieve this goal is essential. Likewise, it is vital to balance the maximization of building energy efficiency and users’ desired level of comfort while employing an efficient BMS for sustainable maintenance of facility operations. The high probability of inaccurate manual building inspections plus the lack of real-time input of dynamic factors urges development of automated BMS. Therefore, Building Information Modelling (BIM) plays a key role towards automation in construction and corresponding management systems. Despite the nD capability of BIM enabling its potential practice during versatile building life-cycle phases, designers-contractors focused primarily on the application of BIM during design-construction management stages. Moreover, integration of knowledge management systems empowering handling and sharing of respective building maintenance information over the building life-cycle is an inevitable essential during post-construction sustainable performances. Focusing on the building energy efficiency, this article has reviewed 91 papers and suggests engagement of an Integrated Knowledge-based Building Management System using nD BIM applications (BIM-IKBMS) during the post-construction building life-cycle to advance the successful implementation of sustainable building performances.Current output:Publication 1Publication 2Publication 3
