Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The application of BIM technology in the construction industry has been very extensive, and BIM technology in the construction stage can solve various problems, such as the collaboration of various interested parties in the construction process, the simulation of the construction process, performance calculation, the cost statistics, carbon emission statistics, progress management, quality management, safety management, etc., which are the challenges faced by the modern building construction process. The application of BIM technology to simulate the various needs of the construction process and improve construction efficiency, e.g., through construction synergy-related technology, connects various stakeholders involved in construction, greatly improving construction efficiency and quality, as well as the progress of construction. Therefore, we propose this Special Issue entitled to collect research results on BIM technology in integrated construction operation simulation, which will revolutionize the construction industry, including the road and bridge industry, as well as the construction industry. These results will revolutionize the depth of BIM technology application in the construction process of roads and bridges, municipalities, ports, tunnels, etc., including the construction industry.

In this paper, we explore the integration of building information modeling (BIM) technology to assess carbon emissions, emphasizing the unique contributions to smart and sustainable approaches in prefabricated buildings and focusing on the application of digital construction strategies facilitated by BIM to evaluate carbon emissions in green prefabricated buildings, with a detailed case study on C-House at Southeast University, Nanjing, China. The research methodology involved creating a BIM model of C-House in Rhino and collecting data from the operationalization phase. This research work delves into analyzing the structural components, on-site assembling process, and evaluation of carbon emissions by using a BIM-based assessment, as well as the energy load and consumption of prefabricated components, including sustainable PV panels, to enhance building efficiency and sustainability. The findings uncover the life cycle of C-House, which spans seven stages, compared with the five stages of conventional builds. Currently in its third cycle, C-House exhibits significant reductions of 70.57% in carbon emissions during the second cycle and 43.53% in the first one. This highlights the pattern showing that the prolonged reuse of prefabricated buildings leads to decreasing emissions over time. Such results underscore the potential carbon emission reductions and environmental advantages of reusing green prefabricated buildings. Furthermore, this study provides insights into the entire life cycle of the building, from inception to occupation and post-phase performance evaluation. By employing BIM for modeling, simulation, and analysis, we offer practical insights into the application of smart technologies for sustainable construction practices, significantly contributing to the advancement of green and digital construction technologies.
