Visualization of Green Building and BIM Technology Integration Research Using Citespace

The integration with Building Information Modeling （BIM） technology has emerged as a significant development trend in the field of green building. While a considerable number of studies and applications have emerged in this interdisciplinary direction， systematic reviews and trend predictions in this field remain relatively scarce. To investigate the research hotspots and developmental trajectories of green building in combination with BIM technology over the past decade， this study analyzed research data from 2015 to 2024 sourced from CNKI core journals. With the aid of the analysis tool Citespace， this study summarized the current state， development stages， hot spots， and future evolutionary trends of the integration of green building and BIM technology. Five research hot spots were identified： green construction， prefabricated construction， architectural design， the whole-life cycle， and building energy efficiency. Furthermore， four core research themes were summarized as smart technology， low-carbon energy efficiency， construction， and management evaluation. Based on the analysis， recommendations were proposed for technical， low-carbon， and construction management systems， aiming to provide systematic knowledge mapping reference and practical pathway insights for in-depth research in this field.
