Abstract

The quality of the healthy environment in primary and middle schools is a critical determinant of students' physical health, mental well-being, and academic performance. However, traditional design methods face inherent limitations: fragmented data across architecture, structure, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) disciplines creates "information silos", and reliance on empirical judgment leads to mismatches between design expectations and actual environmental performance. Taking the relocation project of Wulijie Middle School in Wuhan as a case study, this paper demonstrates how Building Information Modeling (BIM) enables integrated analysis of climate adaptation, passive strategy optimization, and energy efficiency. By leveraging BIM's "one model with multiple calculations" capability, the research constructs a closed-loop design process of "climate analysis - strategy formulation - performance simulation - scheme iteration," systematically exploring BIM's application in healthy campus design. Results indicate that BIM enhances quantitative accuracy in environmental optimization, reduces total energy consumption by 24.03%, and provides a replicable technical paradigm. The findings offer insights for educational facility policies and design standards, promoting the integration of BIM in school construction.
