Abstract:The concept of sustainable building has been widespread in the construction industry to reduce the environmental impacts from buildings. Considering the whole life cycle of a building, design stage is crucial in deciding whether a project will be successful. Therefore, this study will propose a strategy which can optimize the building design schemes to improve their sustainability and save cost over their lifetime with help of the cooperation between building information modeling (BIM) and multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO). Case study proves that this strategy is effective and efficient, which can largely reduce the designers' workloads and improve the building performances.
