Research on Information-Driven Innovation in Green Building Design

In the context of mounting global demands for sustainable development, the construction industry finds itself confronted with dual challenges: environmental protection and sustainable development. Green building, a novel paradigm in construction development, has emerged as a pivotal trend within the global construction sector. The advent of information technology has precipitated a transformation in the construction industry’s management paradigm, propelling it towards a data-driven and collaborative approach that encompasses the entire lifecycle. Notably, Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology has emerged as a pivotal catalyst for innovation in green building design and management models. This study explores the application of BIM technology in green building design and analyses how it can improve the energy efficiency, resource utilisation and environmental performance of building design through information technology. Using a hospital project in Yunnan as a case study, the research demonstrates how BIM technology can be used to optimise building energy simulation, environmental impact assessment, energy-saving measures and intelligent management. The findings of the case study demonstrate that BIM technology has the capacity to optimise the design decision-making process, to achieve refined control during the construction and operation and maintenance stages. The research results provide both theoretical and practical support for the transformation of the construction industry’s information technology and innovation of management models, and help to achieve the goal of sustainable development in the construction industry.
