This research raises questions about the possibilities and options of using BIM methodology for wood design construction associated with software structure modeling along asset's cycle life. Likewise, several academic initiatives are reviewed. In this sense, paper aims to establish an appropriate link between two agendas that architecture, engineering, (AEC) industry, academia, governments normally handle separately. By conducting literature reviews (book, journals, congresses) extensive tests (BIM software: Revit, Archicad, Tekla, Wood plug-ins: AGACAD, Archiframe, Timber Framing 2015, WoodStud Frame, etc.), state-of-the-art was assessed in both fields, cases linking shown detail discussed, various theoretical samples modelled shown, advantages disadvantages each technique stage explained. On other hand, although has been most common hundreds years, is not case Modeling developments materiality. Furthermore, since appearance materials such as steel reinforced concrete, all have focused on these materials, leaving aside possibility developing applications use projects. According previously it can be concluded used more frequently academia fields processes and, many cases, only a few BIM-wood tools used. Thus, disregarding high potential level benefits results application methodologies complete building life (design, construction, operation).

A Carbon Footprint (CF) is defined as the total emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, a specific type Environmental that measures human impact on environment. dioxide are major contributor to anthropogenic gases driving climate change. Wood, renewable ecological material, has relatively low emissions. The study aimed review analyze criteria influencing feasibility constructing modern zero-carbon wooden buildings. was conducted in two phases: (i) literature (ii) an assessment existing preliminary research led narrowing focus years 2020–2024 identifying key for analysis: sustainable material sourcing, sequestration, energy efficiency, life cycle (LCA), innovative construction practices. study’s findings indicate all these play vital role design new They highlight significant potential wood achieving buildings (ZCBs), positioning it compelling alternative traditional materials. However, also underscores despite wood’s numerous benefits, its implementation ZCBs faces several challenges, including social, regulatory, financial barriers.
