“…Despite the emerging global campaign for sustainable development, the construction industry is still prevalently highlighted as critical in terms of its sustainability impact [51,52]. With the emerging design and studies on improving sustainable development through BIM-based life cycle sustainability assessment for buildings, the adoption and interest are still at a low phase [53,54].…”

With the emergence of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as central to construction design, planning, execution and maintenance, integration into the entire infrastructure sustainability process is imperative for achieving sustainable development. Despite its immense benefit of aiding compliance to sustainable construction, potential barriers continue to widen the gap in implementation. Therefore, this study adopts the “interpretive structural modelling approach” to advance a ranked structure of the interrelatedness of the barriers to integrating BIM in buildings sustainability assessment. The “Matrice d’Impacts croises-multipication applique a classement analysis (MICMAC)” was utilised to categorise the identified adoption barriers in the model. The identified barriers and relationship with themselves are valuable in discussing the challenges to BIM-based LCA and developing policies and design decisions to drive the process further. Further, it adds to the emerging discussion of BIM from the life cycle sustainability assessment perspective for infrastructure. The findings are critical for policy, stakeholders and extending the body of knowledge.

“…Enscape is a plugin for Revit and Rhino that provides a VR viewer for walkthrough explorations of designs, with changes made in Revit being instantaneously displayed in VR (Enscape,2019). Enscape has been used in several published case studies such as an examination of the bill of quantities in a furnished house (Davidson et al, 2020) and a lifecycle cost assessment of building facades (Kamari et al, 2021). Mindesk plugin for Rhinoceros exposes Rhino modelling functionality to VR, allowing a user to use controllers and a VR version of its user interface to create designs in an immersive mode, and including an option to use Grasshopper for parametric modeling (Mindesk,2019b).…”

Integrated industrial building design is an interdisciplinary task, in which planning of flexible building structures requires effective communication and collaboration between all stakeholders already in early design stage. This paper presents BIMFlexi-VR, a collaborative framework which implements a real-time bidirectional link between a parametric modelling component created in Grasshopper for Rhinoceros that performs optimized structural calculations of an industrial building, and an immersive Virtual Reality environment in which the automatically calculated building is visualized. Users of BIMFlexi-VR are able to change parameters defining the outcome of the structural calculation directly inside the virtual environment and see the modified building design together with the associated fitness metrics in a matter of seconds. Providing an efficient and intuitive platform for early exploration of industrial building designs, BIMFlexi-VR enables collaborative decision making and facilitates the creation of more efficient and sustainable industrial constructions.

“…Relevant mainland scholars [25] analyzed the relevant technologies of digital landscape architecture from the aspects of acquisition, storage and sharing of relevant data by constructing the overall digital framework of landscape architecture, and expounded the advantages of digital landscape architecture system from the aspects of monitoring system, security system, and data management system. Relevant European and American industrial companies [26,27] decomposed the digital design of landscape architecture, and concluded that the digital landscape design mainly includes several important modules, such as generalized intelligent sensor network technology, landscape data transmission, landscape spatial data processing and analysis, landscape spatial data management, landscape spatial data mining and analysis, and believed that the information technology, Internet of things technology, grid computing Artificial intelligence technology, and pattern recognition technology can complete the whole process of digital design of landscape architecture. In the specific application of digital design technology of landscape architecture, relevant scholars [28] used BIM Technology to apply BIM Technology to the planning, design, analysis, and evaluation of digital design, so as to improve the design efficiency, deepen the designer's understanding of landscape design, and improve the design quality.…”

Compared with the modern intelligent landscape design, traditional landscape design is often limited to landscape level architectural design and traditional functional design, thus ignoring the advantages of ecological factors and scientific and technological factors embodied in intelligent landscape design. Therefore, the traditional landscape design often has some disadvantages, such as waste of design resources, serious design energy consumption, poor adaptability of design products, weak practicality, and fragile ecological structure. Based on this, this paper will fully consider the role of climate factors such as solar radiation, temperature, wind conditions, and relative temperature and humidity and air pollutants in landscape design. At the same time, various design factors in landscape design will be quantified and statistically analyzed by using the principle of nonlinear random matrix, so as to further optimize the index distribution of balanced design factors and optimize the landscape design scheme. In the actual principle design, this paper adopts the logic idea of digital garden design, based on the design process of garden logic design, garden design foundation preparation, garden design environment analysis, and digital garden design results display, and establishes a parametric digital garden forest model, so as to realize the digital design and simulation of intelligent garden. In the corresponding practical simulation part, this paper carried out an example verification based on the interior and exterior landscape design of a company and realized the establishment of the parametric analysis model of the case based on parametric and visual-related programmable software, thus completing the simulation design of functional components such as garden road layout optimization design, garden greening planting design, garden landscape visual creation effect design, and garden numerical service design; the experimental results show that compared with the traditional garden design, the garden designed in this paper has increased the degree of garden intelligence by about 30%, reduced the energy consumption by about 20% in the corresponding degree of energy conservation and environmental protection, and increased the degree of garden comfort by about 30%.
