Abstract: This study addresses climate change by proposing a BIM-based framework for design decision-making that supports both mitigation and adaptation strategies in the built environment. In terms of mitigation, Building Information Modeling (BIM) enables a comprehensive assessment of operational and embodied carbon emissions throughout a building's lifecycle. For adaptation, integrating BIM with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates the creation of digital twins to visualize and monitor regional carbon dynamics in real time. This research explores how BIM, when aligned with international carbon accounting standards and carbon trading platforms, can serve as a foundation for achieving netzero carbon buildings and planning carbon-neutral urban zones. Through systematic analysis and integration of performance benchmarks, component libraries, and spatial data, the study demonstrates that BIM is not only a modeling tool but a strategic platform for climate-resilient architecture and policy formulation.
