In order to study the problems of information disconnection, poor coordination of project participants, design evaluation, and so on, in the process of green building evaluation in China, this paper proposes a construction method of green building integrated evaluation system based on BIM Technology. This method constructs the research framework through the research on green building evaluation and BIM (building information modeling), analyzes the whole life cycle of BIM in green building, solves the problems existing in green building evaluation in China through the application of BIM, expounds the green building evaluation process under BIM environment, and studies the information interaction of green building evaluation under BIM environment and the application of BIM in green building design evaluation and operation evaluation. The results show that by studying the application of BIM in green building evaluation, it is demonstrated that the green building evaluation based on BIM can effectively improve the evaluation efficiency and realize the informatization, integration, and high efficiency of green building evaluation.

“…There are several modeling and optimization tools to evaluate the energy management and efficiency in buildings that use BIM combined with other tools such as sustainability [13], life cycle assessment (LCA) [14], life cycle cost (LCC) [15], building energy modeling (BEM) methodology [16], and multi-criteria decisionmaking (MCDM) [17]. BIM tools can be applied at different stages of the building, whether in the construction project [18] or during its useful life [19]. Moreover, novel construction processes have been developed to reduce the energy consumption in buildings, such as modular construction, which appears as an important step toward producing more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings [20], and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and carbon embodied in buildings [21].…”

Construction projects demand a higher amount of energy predominantly for heating, ventilation, and illumination purposes. Modular construction has come into the limelight in recent years as a construction method that uses sustainable building materials and optimizes energy efficiency. Ventilation openings in buildings are designed to facilitate air circulation by naturally driven ventilation and could aid in reducing energy consumption in construction projects. However, a knowledge gap makes it difficult to propose the best dimensions of ventilation openings in buildings. Hence, the aim of this work is to empower the decision-making process in terms of proposing the best ventilation opening dimensions toward sustainable energy use and management in buildings. A novel framework is presented herein to evaluate the impact and propose the best dimensions of ventilation openings for metal frame modular construction in Brazil, using building information modeling. The ventilation openings were constructed and their dimensions evaluated in eight Brazilian cities, based on the bioclimatic zone (BioZ) classification indicated in ABNT NBR 15220: Curitiba (1st BioZ); Rio Negro (2nd BioZ); São Paulo (3rd BioZ); Brasília (4th BioZ); Campos (5th BioZ); Paranaíbe (6th BioZ); Goiás (7th BioZ); and Rio de Janeiro (8th BioZ). The study results show that the energy consumption of the same building model would vary based on the dimensions of ventilation openings for each BioZ in Brazil. For instance, modeling the same modular construction unit in the city of Rio Negro could consume around 50% of the energy compared to the same unit constructed in the city of Rio de Janeiro, using the small opening sizes based on the smallest dimensions of the ventilation openings. Similarly, modeling the construction unit in Curitiba, São Paulo, Brasília, Campos, Paranaíba, and Goiás could reduce energy consumption by around 40%, 34%, 36%, 18%, 20%, and 16%, respectively, compared to constructing the same building in the city of Rio de Janeiro, using the small opening sizes based on the smallest dimensions of the ventilation openings. This work could help practitioners and professionals in modular construction projects to design the best dimensions of the ventilation openings based on each BioZ towards increasing energy efficiency and sustainability.
