Abstract: Abstract The application of building information modelling (BIM) in the life cycle assessment of a building can improve the assessment efficiency, but there are numerous challenges facing BIM and life cycle assessment integration due to the lack of interoperability between both tools. Therefore, it is imperative to find out solutions for enhancing the interoperability between BIM and life cycle assessment tools. However, the related research in this filed is fragmented. Hence, this research aims to systematically understand the status quo of the integration between BIM and life cycle assessment in order to find out solutions on enhancing the interoperability between BIM and LCA tools. A systematic literature review method is adopted to examine 71 BIM-life cycle assessment integration-related articles since 2004. The results show that the use of visual programming languages (VPL) for life cycle assessment evaluation is the most effective way to integrate BIM and life cycle assessment. Moreover, suggestions on enhancing the interoperability between BIM and life cycle assessment are proposed from the perspective of data input. This research contributes to facilitating the application of BIM in life cycle assessment in building sector.
