“…Building information modeling (BIM) technology [ 6 , 7 ], as a general term for digital modeling software, parameterizes real building information in a virtual environment. Nowadays, to gain a leading edge from the fierce competition, enterprises need to use information technology to change the original situation of the construction industry that relies on a large amount of capital, technology, and labor input.…”

The main framework of green construction management based on building information modeling (BIM) is constructed, and the related theories of BIM and green buildings are researched in more detail. The index of green construction is evaluated using the fuzzy evaluation method. The technical measures, management methods, field experience, and evaluation methods included in the green construction process are introduced in detail. Finally, effective measures to promote green construction management in China are proposed. This method is based on the specific technical measures and targeted management methods adopted in the green construction process. At the same time, the specific measures of construction project management in the era of big data are analyzed. It includes the collection and processing of data, the establishment of basic data models, the intelligent technology of big data clusters, and the application of blockchain big data. The purpose of the research is not only to effectively promote the development process of green construction in China, but also to reduce the waste of resources and environmental damage in the construction projects. At the same time, in the process of solving China’s environmental protection, building construction must follow the guiding suggestions put forward under the green construction. This has an important reference value for promoting China’s green construction work and has certain construction significance for realizing the sustainable development of the construction industry.

“…The industry and educational circles have been working together to improve BIM teaching, integrating BIM education into AEC courses in universities [ 3 ]. BIM-related courses are obligatory for AEC majors in many universities [ 32 , 33 , 34 ]. However, before entering colleges and universities, many students have never experienced working with BIM technology, and most of them are exposed to BIM technology at the request of teachers or the recommendation of senior seniors.…”

“…However, the training scale of BIM technical talents is far from meeting the needs of industrial development, and BIM education cannot completely support the development of AEC industry [ 7 , 31 ]. Although many colleges and universities have incorporated BIM-related courses into the curriculum [ 32 , 33 , 34 ], Shi [ 35 ] considers that the current BIM education cannot felicitously link BIM with other architectural fields in the curriculum. At the same time, people’s shortage of knowledge of new technology leads to negative attitudes, and the consequences may be far-reaching, which will have a massive impact on technology adoption and industry development [ 36 ].…”

With the popularization and application of Building Information Modeling (BIM), the demand for BIM technical talents in the construction industry is increasing. Exploring college students’ BIM technical learning behavior is of great practical significance to improve education activities. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this research adds learning attitude variables to construct a theoretical model of influencing factors of college students’ BIM technology learning behavior. Chinese undergraduate students were asked to complete online questionnaires through peer-to-peer contact with sample colleges and universities. Finally, 1090 valid questionnaires were obtained. The students were sampled from research-oriented, applied research-oriented, application-oriented, and private research-oriented universities in seven regions of China: northeast, north, east, south, central, northwest, and southwest. The structural equation model was used to analyze the sampling data. The results indicate that college students’ BIM learning attitude, performance expectations, and social influence positively and directly impact their learning intention, which indirectly impacts their learning behavior. At the same time, promoting factors and learning intention demonstrate a significant positive and direct impact on learning behavior. Therefore, the following suggestions have been put forward to enhance college students’ learning motivation for BIM technology: increase the popularization of BIM technology in colleges and universities and improve the operation level of full-time BIM teachers. The latter enables colleges and universities to continuously and stably export qualified BIM technical talents to society and the market, resulting in a continuous industry development cycle.

“…Therefore, as a recommendation, there is an urgent need to sensitize students on the importance and possibility of publishing their research findings in scientific peer-reviewed journals or conferences. This has been echoed in Wang et al (2020b) where they recommend an urgent need for research-informed teaching to be embedded in BIM programs. There is also a great necessity to build capacity in scientific writing among undergraduate and graduate students.…”

PurposeIn the COVID-19 era, where blended learning is gaining popularity, research-informed teaching could be one of the alternatives or options to assess students' progress in Higher Education institutions. In the past, educators have assessed students' research skills gained from research-informed teaching through coursework components or assignments. However, whether the assignments can be converted into peer-reviewed output acceptable in a reputable journal or conference has hardly been investigated. This study explores how research-informed teaching has been rolled out in undergraduate/postgraduate BIM related modules/programmes in the School of the Built Environment, Oxford Brookes University and which has culminated in high quality published outputs.Design/methodology/approachThe method used is purely qualitative in-depth interviews, where students who have published were tracked and invited to share their experiences. In total, nine former students of the 12 invited, participated in the interviews. Inductive content analysis, a suitable qualitative data analysis technique was used in analysing the feedback from the interviews.FindingsThe main finding is that research-informed teaching can be done in a technical and complex BIM discipline and students' coursework components or assignments can further be converted into published outputs.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitation of this study was that the sample was small. That notwithstanding, it has provided valuable insights into the understanding of student's ability to undertake research while studying and experiences of how educators can deliver research-informed teaching to students in Higher Education institutions.Originality/valueThe study adds to the existing body of literature about undergraduate and postgraduate research-informed teaching and goes further to provide strong evidence through published outputs thereby confirming that students at both levels can indeed conduct and publish peer-reviewed research articles while undertaking their studies.
