Abstract

Today, more and more attention is dealt with environmental issues and sustainable construction in society. The construction industry is demanded on the amount of energy consumed and greenhouse gas emissions.

In last years, we have seen an increase in innovation in the construction industry sector. Support in buildings construction´s innovation is one of the major ways to realization, manage and operate the building’s life cycle. Making these processes more efficient leads to the promotion of sustainable construction. This article is pointing out the different aspects of sustainability and provides an overview of innovative technologies used in the construction sector and focuses on their contribution to promoting sustainable construction. Special attention is dealt with technology of building information modelling, especially its benefits and tools to support building sustainability.
