LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is one of the most popular and globally recognized green building standards. In LEED, evaluating the sustainable effects of site location and transportation to the ecosystem and human life is a critical and difficult task. Credits regarding these matters require experience, time, labor, and manual calculations. In recent years, many studies have been conducted to enhance the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the LEED certification. However, the application of BIM to LEED's site location and transportation analysis is usually considered impractical due to the lack of a powerful map application in present BIM products. The aim of this research is to develop a framework for the integration of BIM and Web Map Service (WMS) technologies for LEED's location and transportation analysis. Using Autodesk Revit API and Google Maps API as the development tools, this research converts the integration model into a LEED-BIM plugin in Autodesk Revit to streamline the certification process of site location and transportation analysis in LEED.
