This chapter shows what building information modeling (BIM) can bring to sustainability. It describes the study of BIM and sustainability to the three main fields: optimizing the use of materials for durability; energy efficiency; and sustainability in the management of the life cycle. The chapter explores BIM in the railway sector. Sustainability is a common goal for all actors. The use of BIM obviously contributes to reducing the risk of error on a site with the benefits that this implies afterwards. In order to act on the reduction of greenhouse gases, the energy efficiency of buildings is today identified as a relevant and profitable avenue. In Norway, several major governmental clients, such as the national road and railroad authorities, increasingly demand BIM. BIM became mandatory in large public Norwegian infrastructure projects in 2016. Societies increasingly taking into consideration the issues of sustainable development.
