This document discusses the opportunities that building information modeling (BIM) presents for sustainability in design, construction, operation, and end of life of buildings. It provides examples of projects that achieved BREEAM sustainability certifications using BIM. It also outlines the research, resources, training, education, certification, and advisory services that BRE provides regarding BIM implementation and use. Specifically, it discusses challenges around managing product data in BIM and the need for a common language and single source of truth for product information.
