Annotation: This dissertation introduces an integrated framework for building sustainability assessment, combining energy audits, operational performance assessment, and life cycle assessment into a unified process supported by digital twin and building information modelling technologies. The research addresses current limitations in building assessment practices, such as fragmented evaluations and poor data interoperability, by proposing a digital, data-driven approach that leverages both static building model data and dynamic monitored data. Through systematic literature reviews, tool development, validation testing, and case studies, the research demonstrates how digitization can improve the accuracy, efficiency, and comprehensiveness of sustainability assessments. The proposed framework not only enhances the ability to assess a building’s energy performance and the environmental impact of its improvements across the building’s life cycle, but also supports better-informed decision-making. The findings offer value to construction professionals, urban planners, and policymakers seeking to align with climate goals and promote sustainable development.
