International Journal of BIM and Engineering Science IJBES 2571-1075 10.54216/IJBES https://www.americaspg.com/journals/show/3212 2021 2021 Building Information Modeling and Management Master Student, Syrian Virtual University, Damascus, Syria Sophia Sophia Director of the Master's Program in Building Information Modeling and Management, Syrian Virtual University, Damascus, Syria Sonia Ahmed Al-Rashed International Private University, Damascus, Syria Alaa J. Kadi This review highlights the importance of sustainability in the construction sector, focusing on residential and high-rise buildings. It aims to provide a framework for evaluating the environmental, social, and economic impact of these buildings and propose design options that enhance energy efficiency and reduce resource consumption. Using bibliometric and content analysis methods, the research identifies and quantifies relevant studies on sustainability in high-rise residential buildings and extracts key sustainable practices and principles for a comprehensive comparison of different sustainability assessment systems. Key findings indicate that implementing sustainable standards in residential towers significantly enhances energy efficiency, reduces harmful emissions, and promotes effective waste management. A case study of a tower in Basilea City demonstrated that these standards can lead to substantial energy consumption reductions through optimized design alternatives. The study concludes that integrating sustainability criteria into residential tower design and construction is essential for achieving long-term environmental, social, and economic benefits, emphasizing the need to adopt internationally recognized sustainability assessment systems.   2024 2024 12 19 10.54216/IJBES.090102 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/22/show/3212
