### BIM Application in LEED  
According to the analysis, LEED is the most-used BSA method by researchers regarding the use of BIM. As presented in Table 3, 22 from the 26 identified studies have addressed, at least, one LEED credit, between 2011 and 2019. The most used LEED version by researchers is BD+C: New Construction v3 (2009) is addressed in nine publications, followed by BD+C: New Construction v4 addressed in five papers. Figure 5 presents the different versions applied in the identified publications. Note also for the application of different LEED versions in school buildings, which have happened in three publications. Figure 4: Applied software to assess BREEAM criteria.
