Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the backbone of the fourth industrial revolution, the digital economy (DE) is considered to have a disruptive effect, in which Building Information Management has played a crucial role in building industry. Since, the COVID-19 epidemic has severely negatively affected the global economy, environment, and society, DE are receiving high attention from policy makers, practitioners, and scholars around the world. Currently, in post epidemic, digital technology, such as Building Information Modeling, has great potential in promoting sustainable development via Circular Economy (CE) approach. Accelerating the integration and innovation of Building Information Modeling/Management (BIM) with other technologies and aspects can trigger multi-sphere, multi-dimensional breakthroughs for sustainable development. The aim of this Special Issue is to suggest cases and recommend technologies and policies for the transition of emerging theory and practice of Building Information Modeling/Management (BIM) driven CE towards sustainable development in architecture, building, engineering, and construction industry.
