Abstract

The progressions of industrial revolutions have enabled diverse digital technologies in architecture, engineering, construction and operation (AECO), with Building Information Modelling (BIM) gaining notable attention. Concurrently, the circular economy (CE) has emerged as a crucial strategy for addressing socio-economic issues such as waste, resource depletion, and climate change. However, limitations within BIM or CE implementations have led to these persisting socio-economic challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive state-of-the-art review on the convergence of BIM and CE (hereafter, CircularBIM), utilizing a mixed-method approach (bibliometric and systematic review techniques), analysing 89 relevant studies. Key research trends identified include life cycle assessments, deconstruction, BIM-based systems, waste management, and energy efficiency. This paper suggests future research should integrate recommender systems for CircularBIM, employ real-time performance integrated CircularBIM directory, increase expert studies and broaden parameters integration for CircularBIM. Ultimately, this paper aims to enhance CircularBIM implementation in the AECO sector, providing insights for all stakeholders.

CircularBIM：建筑信息模型与循环经济融合的未来需求

工业革命的进展使建筑、工程、施工和运营（AECO）领域的各种数字技术成为可能，其中建筑信息模型（BIM）备受关注。与此同时，循环经济（CE）已成为解决废物、资源枯竭和气候变化等社会经济问题的关键战略。然而，BIM或CE实施的局限性导致了这些持续存在的社会经济挑战。本文利用混合方法（文献计量学和系统综述技术），对BIM和CE（以下简称CircularBIM）的融合进行了全面的最新综述，分析了89项相关研究。确定的主要研究趋势包括生命周期评估、解构、基于bim的系统、废物管理和能源效率。本文建议未来的研究应该集成CircularBIM的推荐系统，采用实时性能集成的CircularBIM目录，增加专家研究，扩大CircularBIM的参数集成。最终，本文旨在加强CircularBIM在AECO领域的实施，为所有利益相关者提供见解。

期刊介绍： Automation in Construction is an international journal that focuses on publishing original research papers related to the use of Information Technologies in various aspects of the construction industry. The journal covers topics such as design, engineering, construction technologies, and the maintenance and management of constructed facilities. The scope of Automation in Construction is extensive and covers all stages of the construction life cycle. This includes initial planning and design, construction of the facility, operation and maintenance, as well as the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures.
