近幾年永續議題越來越受到重視，但永續為一抽象之概念，需透過評估工具才能將此概念轉化成量化的數值，而由美國提出之領先能源與環境設計(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design，LEED）為一套可提供永續建築作為設計基準之認證系統。然而有關永續建築最重要的決策都在規劃及設計階段，但傳統的CAD環境在早期的設計階段一般不具備永續分析的能力。另一方面建築資訊模型(Building Information Modeling，BIM)技術的發展，能使永續分析能更精確及更有效率，且可作為決策考量時的依據。
此外因BIM在台灣建築業並未被廣泛的應用，目前國內大多數的建築師仍在CAD環境底下進行建築設計，但LEED 並不對設計初期的建築圖面進行評估，因此若一開始缺乏完善的規劃，很有可能到興建完成進行認證時，才會發現許多資料有所遺漏，或是設計手法並不符合LEED的要求。
因此本研究希望藉由BIM在永續設計上的優勢，進而探討BIM應用在LEED認證過程中所能帶來之益處，並找出須於設計階段添加之參數，更進一步提出一套適用於LEED認證之設計流程，使欲申請LEED認證的專案有一個較簡便的方法，能讓建築師於設計階段便可判斷此種設計手法能否達到LEED認證之要求，進而減少與LEED顧問間之討論、降低變更設計的時間。
經本研究分析之結果，並經過實際的案例驗證，得知將BIM應用在LEED認證過程中，比起在CAD環境底下能更快更有效率的直接或間接的得到評分項之分數，將可使BIM推展至LEED認證的領域。

In recent years, the sustainability of the building is largely emphasized due to globe warming. Several tools have been developed to evaluate the level of sustainability of the building. Among the tools in evaluating sustainability, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a certification system proposed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is the most widely recognized one. It has been used as the design basis for rating a building's environmental performance.
The sustainability performance of the building is usually determined at the planning and design phase. However, it is not an easy task to conduct sustainability analysis in the traditional CAD design system. On the other hand, BIM contains rich information and can be efficiently used to conduct different types of analyses in sustainability.
Taking the advantage of using BIM in sustainable design, this research explored the benefits of applying BIM in the LEED certification process. In additions, the required parameters of BIM model in calculating LEED credits were identified. Furthermore, a case was used to verify the above findings.
The result indicates that applying BIM software in the LEED certification process could save time and be more efficient compared to applying the CAD system in terms of accessing LEED credit points in design.
