Scientific contributions to BIM-sustainability integration have gained momentum in recent years due to the influential role of BIM as a well-accepted approach for sustainable construction practices. In this regard, some systematic reviews and informatic analysis papers have addressed this topic. Although these papers have provided useful insights, we go deeper into the body of knowledge through a critical lens. In addition, in this paper, keyword combination is broadened as opposed to other reviews, and critical insight is applied to synergies between BIM and sustainability through gap-spotting. For this purpose, 98 journal articles are selected and grouped into four major categories, namely: (i) BIM-based Life-Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA); (ii) BIM for green buildings; (iii) BIM-aided construction waste management; (iv) state-of-the-art topics. The work's novelty lies in giving a holistic understanding of previously dismissed issues and a critical area review. Finally, the research gaps and future opportunities are discussed and tabulated.

可持续性和建筑信息模型：整合、研究差距和未来方向

近年来，由于 BIM 作为一种广为接受的可持续建筑实践方法所发挥的影响力作用，对 BIM 与可持续性整合的科学贡献不断增长。在这方面，一些系统综述和信息分析论文已经讨论了这个主题。尽管这些论文提供了有用的见解，但我们通过批判性的视角更深入地了解知识体系。此外，与其他评论相比，本文拓宽了关键词组合，并通过差距发现将批判性见解应用于 BIM 和可持续发展之间的协同作用。为此，我们选择了 98 篇期刊文章，分为四大类，即： (i) 基于 BIM 的生命周期可持续性评估 (LCSA)； (ii) 绿色建筑 BIM； (iii) BIM 辅助建筑废物管理； (iv) 最先进的主题。这项工作的新颖之处在于对先前被忽视的问题给出了全面的理解并对关键领域进行了审查。最后，讨论并列出了研究差距和未来机会。
