In recent years, the green BIM(building information model) has caught the attention of the U.S. and other developed countries in the field of construction, and most of the projects that use Green BIM technology have already achieved good effect which combines sustainability with economy. Although there are still many problems in Green BIM practice, green BIM has become the inevitable trend of construction. Based on the application situation of green BIM in the U.S., this article analyzes its influence on construction field in China. In the author’s opinion, compared with green BIM in America, green BIM in China starts so late that there is a huge gap in technology between the two countries. In the process of development, China should fully absorb the practical experience of green BIM in America and combine the characteristics of construction field in China to form a proper green BIM operation process which accords with the situation of China. It is proposed that more attention should be paid to Green BIM application in different types of project and in the choice of building product material and renewable energy. Meanwhile, technical localization should be strengthened and government should invest more in it to promote the development of green building and achieve the goals of energy saving and emission reduction.
