N2 - To investigate and demonstrate how modelling supports BIM-based building LCA, the project developed two example buildings and their sites: a residential building and an office building. Both buildings are designed with a wooden and a concrete structure. The buildings are designed according to the Finnish Construction Act and building codes. The design principles emphasise the life-cycle properties of buildings, e.g., multi-purpose usability, adaptability, and access to natural light. The structural material versions of both buildings start from identical room layouts. The differences caused by the materials of the structures are therefore reflected in small differences in the floor areas and volumes of the buildings.The residential building... is designed to provide housing for residents who may need care services but want to live with or close to their families. The building consists of half of the apartments designed for service housing for families and half of the regular family apartments. The building is narrow in width, and all apartments have windows opening on three sides, allowing good natural light and flexible furnishing. On the ground floor, there is a shared space. Next to the shared space, there is a sheltered outdoor terrace with a pleasant microclimate.The office building... is designed to provide flexible office space and recreational and exercise facilities for the company's employees. MEP and electrical solutions have also been implemented in a way that allows for flexible combining and sharing of spaces. On the ground floor, there is a restaurant, a cabinet space for meetings and a space for an office hub that serves the building but also other teleworking people in the neighbourhood. The three floors with office space can be divided for 1-4 different users. The building’s narrow width provides good natural light to all working spaces. To reduce the heat loads from the sun, a shading system has been designed for the south-west façade.Both buildings and their versions consist of several native models and their IFCs: architectural, structural, electrical and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.In all design phases of the project, the disciplines carried out the design work solely by modelling. As a result, several model versions were produced. All the models are available to download in the modules below. They are free for anyone to use under the Creative Commons license (CC BY-SA 4.0). Electrical models are under the HCAC folder and MAGICAD-FOR-REVIT folder.

Gravicon was responsible for the structural design, and Granlund was responsible for the HVAC, sprinkler, and electrical design. VTT managed the overall design process, ensuring all design disciplines followed the design schedule and commonly agreed design principles and produced BIM specification documents.SoftwareThe native BIM files can be opened using their specific commercial software, such as Revit, ArchiCad and Tekla Structures. IFC files can be opened with IFC-viewer or several commercial software that can import IFC files. IFC-viewer software or viewer service can be found for free on the web.
