Building Information Modeling and Sustainable Architecture Design Analysis

Abstract

Green buildings and sustainable design have become the points architects are concerned about. At the same time, with the design and construction of architectural projects becoming more and more complicated, Building Information Modeling (BIM) plays a more important role in the architectural process of aiming to create green buildings and high performance buildings. It can create collaboration between other disciplines that has not occurred in traditional design before. This paper will focus on several case studies, which will be presented and analyzed to offer specific evidence in practice that BIM is the key to realizing sustainable architectural development.
