Abstract
The construction sector accounts for a significant portion of natural resources consumption, including energy, CO2 emissions, water and building materials. The environment, economy and society should be considered in an integrated manner in the construction industry to meet society's expectations while reducing environmental impacts (AGOPYAN; JOHN, 2011). New construction technologies combined with new projective technologies can contribute to the improvement of the built environment in the area of energy efficiency, thermal performance and environmental impacts (FREIRE, M.; AMORIM, A., 2011). This research aims: to develop a method of obtaining informations of environmental impacts during the project development process, through the use of a modeling tool of Information Construction ("Building Information Modeling" - BIM), to assist in making decisions about building system that provides lower environmental impact. For this research, the embedded CO2 and energy in building materials were analyzed. For validation of the research, the method adopted was the case study which analyzed two building systems: steel frame and masonry, applied in the same condominium with twenty houses, which are in the design phase. From the literature review were extracted energy and CO2 informations built the main building materials used in both building systems. Then these data were entered into a BIM tool. First were analyzed and the results obtained from twenty houses masonry then carried out the same process for a single house, and finally, a wall. This study is repeated for the steel frame system. As a result is obtained data of environmental impacts, assisting the professional in the choice of building materials and construction systems with lower environmental impact.

| Descriptive scope: | 5 PCTEA |
N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
