    BIM-Based Asset Management for Sustainability: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis
    (Springer Cham, 2025) Yujie Dong; Amir Rahbarimanesh; Saeed Reza Mohandes; Richard Kirkham
    This study presents a systematic literature review on adding sustainability elements into Building Information Modelling (BIM) to enhance sustainability in the asset management stage of a built asset’s life cycle. Focusing on environmental, economic, and social sustainability dimensions, the review uses bibliometric analysis and systematic content review to identify key advancements and research gaps. The findings reveal that while BIM effectively integrates environmental and economic factors, its application to social sustainability remains underdeveloped. The study underscores the need for a comprehensive framework encompassing all three sustainability dimensions. Additionally, it highlights opportunities to enhance BIM’s functionality by integrating emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and big data, which could enable predictive modelling and real-time sustainability analysis. However, their adoption within BIM practices is still limited. Key recommendations for future research include developing integrated sustainability models, improving stakeholder engagement, and establishing policy frameworks to encourage sustainable BIM practices. This review emphasizes BIM’s transformative role in sustainable asset management while identifying crucial areas for further development.
