Despite the transition towards a circular economy (CE) being significant element in achieving decarbonisation of built environment, clear and common pathway to applying CE principles building design is still lacking both industry practice academia. The integration Building Information Modelling (BIM) Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has potential enable identification feasible pathways increase circularity. This study aims investigate its practical use facilitate application at early stage via using LCA-based BIM plugins. Within this aim, paper centres on co-production approach presents gap analysis by identifying gaps knowledge implementation as well addressing pressing needs current UK. A series semi-structured interviews with expert practitioners field were conducted for data collection, contributing following phases allowing an in-depth investigation reflection practice. findings have revealed that: (a) there insufficient level contextual awareness readiness environment LCA understanding (b) adoption stages limited practice; models sufficient details quality circularity assessment are rarely produced. Thus, highlights need enabling mechanisms, including introduction legislative instruments, involvement commitment key stakeholders, support training skills improvement, establishment effective communication process management frameworks. Future research agenda points formulation protocol promote process.

In 2011, the term Digital Twin was originally introduced by Michael Grieves to define synchronization between two realities: physical objects placed in a real space and virtual within space, linked through mutual exchange of data throughout entire lifecycle, both real-time asynchronously. Nowadays, is among principal emerging technological innovations Industry 4.0 5.0, enabling an interaction objects, Big Data, Internet Things, Artificial Intelligence. The construction sector, too, now exploring potentialities offered approach enhancing innovative, responsible, sustainable governance buildings’ lifecycles. Concerning these issues, this paper proposes visualizing future challenges with specific focus on operation maintenance phase its related impact decarbonization via critical literature review current statements. applied methodology based three different questions certain research issues performed Scopus database. selected findings were filtered, classified, discussed.
