Recently, numerous issues on the environment have been debated locally and globally. This global phenomenon hit Malaysia as well. Malaysia is now concerned about green issues, whether greening cities or buildings. From establishing the Green Building Index (GBI) in 2009 until now, Malaysia has been moving forward to achieve its sustainability goals. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the tools which can facilitate various functions before, during and after the occupation of the building. Therefore, the idea is to integrate green and BIM to prepare the new building as a green-certified ready. The method used to retrieve the information is a literature review focusing on BIM and green initiatives. The data is then computed and rearranged using the thematic topic to separate the main issues. Based on the literature reviews, it is found that the BIM and green initiatives can be integrated to achieve sustainability and aspiration of Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
