The growing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient buildings, particularly in the context of tall structures, has prompted increased attention to innovative solutions. Despite advancements Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology, there exists a critical gap understanding its comprehensive application achieving net-zero energy consumption Malaysian construction industry. This research addresses this by presenting novel strategy that integrates BIM technology with analysis tools buildings Malaysia. aim study is contribute valuable insights industry, policymakers, researchers conducting empirical research, utilizing case studies, validating proposed framework, advancing design practices, supporting transition towards methodology involves three-phase approach, including qualitative analysis, pilot survey, main questionnaire. Exploratory factor (EFA) validates categorization derived from interviews, while Partial Least Squares Structural Equation (PLS-SEM) assesses convergent discriminant validity measurement model. Hypotheses testing using bootstrapping establishes significance correlations between deployment key factors such as early integration, enhanced efficiency, optimized system predictive performance validation design. findings support positive associations mentioned factors, providing statistical through T-statistics p -values. implications extend beyond context, offering architects, engineers, stakeholders involved designing managing buildings. By addressing identified gaps leveraging effectively, can aligning global efforts building practices.
