Abstract: Several SBA (Sustainability Building Assessment) tools exist for the environmental impact assessment in the building sector. Since the majority support either certification or early design, they cannot facilitate the optimization potential of integrated SBA. This publication presents the novel tool GENERIS®, which offers improved functions for buildings’ Life Cycle Assessment, with focus towards BIM integration of LCA. An XSD-LCA scheme stages the data transfer of BIM models based on IFC4x2 standard to Generis®. Fragmentation of a building model in different LoDs and the automation of LCA through standard constructions is described. LCA follows in every phase of the planning process.
