Abstract

Egypt's heritage buildings conservation faces many problems, starting from the stages of restoration of the heritage building to the operation phase of the building. With the growing trend in Egypt to preserve heritage and the trend towards sustainability, the need for a strong management tool that helps to achieve the best performance of the heritage building without compromising its basic form is essential. The term green heritage has appeared recently in Egypt and multiple attempts to achieve sustainability in heritage buildings, so the complex part of the study is the absence of a documentation tool to help for sustainable heritage preservation. This research aim is trying to focus on studying the integration between historical building information modelling (HBIM) technologies and environmental analysis on heritage buildings for achieving sustainable heritage. The research was based on an analytical study of green building rating systems that contribute to the sustainability of heritage and explain the importance of HBIM technology as a new tool to help in the process of documenting heritage buildings and then a study of international examples which applied HBIM on heritage buildings for the approach of sustainability. This study suggested a frame work for preparing sustainable heritage buildings conserved by using HBIM methodology.
