Exploring Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) Integration for Sustainable Building

Sustainable development, which has become the priority study of architectural design, is receiving increasing attention with global climate change. At same time, building industry urgently changing towards intelligent and digitalized tendencies. As a result, Building Information Modeling (BIM) Internet Things (IoT) make crucial contributions to transforming process. However, there little knowledge integration BIM–IoT in sustainable from macro perspective. Moreover, most existing research adopts literature review method lacks objective quantitative analysis. Few papers use bibliometric analysis respective BIM IoT fields. Furthermore, few studies Citespace software tools analyze integrated application BIM–IoT. Therefore, this paper aims investigate frontiers structure relationship between BIM-IoT explore hotspots, trends, future directions. A quick was proposed understand status these new rapidly developing This uses topic search web science core collection obtain relevant then for based on review. Controlled terms subject statistics Engineering Index database results are also used briefly examine fields’ hotspots as obtained Citespace. The show that: (1) focuses intelligence basis application, within field currently focused first three phases life cycle. (2) development buildings needs be considered its human social dimensions. provides platform sharing information communication among stakeholders involved building’s entire allows occupants better participate buildings’ design decision making. (3) In future, more emerging technologies such cloud computing big data required promote thus realize construction smart cities. researchers should pay transformation buildings.
