Abstract
In recent decades, the variety of building materials has grown a great deal. The selection of suitable materials from a wide range of candidates is a complex and difficult problem. The main criteria to be considered in this area, besides reducing procurement cost, is paying attention to various aspects affecting the dimensions of sustainable development, such as increasing energy saving, applying recyclable materials and localization. This chapter proposes a framework in the BIM environment as one of the successful approaches in the AEC industry. This approach allows the project stakeholders to choose the most desired and optimal combination for their building components with the least human interference in the selection process.
