The aim of this series of two papers is to discuss topological invariants for interacting topological insulators (TIs). In the first paper (I), we provide a paradigm of efficient numerical evaluation scheme for topological invariants, in which we demystify the procedures and techniques employed in calculating Z(2) invariant and spin Chern number via zero-frequency single-particle Green's function in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. Here we introduce an interpolation process to overcome the ubiquitous finite-size effect, so that the calculated spin Chern number shows ideally quantized values. We also show that making use of symmetry properties of the underlying systems can greatly reduce the computational effort. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our numerical evaluation scheme, especially the interpolation process, for calculating topological invariants, we apply it on two independent two-dimensional models of interacting topological insulators. In the subsequent paper (II), we apply the scheme developed here to wider classes of models of interacting topological insulators, for which certain limitation of constructing topological invariant via single-particle Green's functions will be presented.
