Abstract The rapid development of the construction industry, which has brought economic prosperity, has been accompanied by ecological and environmental crises incurred by the generation of building materials. The development of the green building materials (GBMs) industry provides the key to solving this problem. With the continuous promotion of Internet of Things strategies, cooperative innovation in integrated GBMs supply chain (IGBMSC) enterprises has become an important method of cooperative green innovation. The key strategy to realizing the development of the GBM industry is promoting the technological innovation of GBMs via innovative resources in the GBM supply chain. We examined the selection of green innovation partners for IGBMSCs, and the results are as follows: Partner selection for technological innovation is an important factor influencing green innovation among enterprises in the integrated GBMs supply chains. The method of selecting green innovation partners in IGBMSCs proposed in this study is a reasonable and effective dynamic selection decision-making method that can be used to improve the collaborative innovation capability of IGBMSCs. The investigation of IGBMSC cooperative innovation partners includes quality and capability, as well as the technology level, integration degree, integration and co-ordination ability, resource integration ability, and learning and absorption ability of partners.
