For millions of years, our planet has supported and nurtured innumerable species of living organisms. Throughout the ages, our civilizations have existed in perfect harmony with nature...until now. Within the span of one natural human lifecycle, we have wreaked havoc on this planet by our increasing environment degrading activities. The extent of our urban development has reached a point where the damage done to the environment is catastrophic and irreversible. The construction industry contributes over 40% to these disastrous effects on the planet.

However, it seems that now the construction industry is taking efforts to retrace its steps back on the path to environmental degradation. The incorporation of the concept of green buildings in the construction business is paving the way for a benchmark for other industries to follow the lead and invest in sustainable development.

What are Green Buildings?

Usually, people tend to confuse green buildings as just the sort of average buildings that are made of sustainable materials that have minimum or no negative effect on the environment. But green buildings are so much more than that. In short, they can be defined as building projects that support, nurture and preserve most of the natural environment around the site, while still being able to serve their purpose. The construction and operations of a green building doesn’t hamper the natural resources such as land, water and vegetation in and around the building and at the same time promotes and maintains a healthy environment for all parties involved.

There are a number of attributes that are instrumental in creating a green building. A few major features that are incorporated in a green building are the efficient use of energy, water and other resources, use of renewable energy, along with developing a design that adapts to the climatic changes and uses sustainable material. The focus is to improve the life of the occupant along with preserving the environment. Using newer technologies like Artificial Intelligence, [https://www.bimservicesindia.com/bim-modeling-services.php BIM Support], etc. helps in optimizing the use of natural resources and control material waste while providing a flexible approach to the design and maintenance of the building.

Green Buildings and the Purpose They Serve

The idea of green buildings is one that originated recently in the latter half of the twentieth century when the American architect Paul Soleri proposed the concept of ecological architecture. This simple yet brilliant concept gave rise to a whole new way of sustainable architecture. Today, green buildings are developed that have special designs and adaptations that allow cohabitation of humans and flora. This symphony of humans with one of the most crucial elements of nature is a win-win for both species. Plants and trees get to keep their spaces and thrive under regular care of people and the inhabitants of these buildings get to enjoy significantly cooler temperatures without the need to consume energy, thus reducing their carbon footprint by a considerable amount.

Additionally, a majority of these green buildings are equipped with additional features such as solar panels, rainwater harvesting and wastewater treatment systems as well as electronic fixtures that adjust temperature and lighting according to the atmosphere readings and sunlight. These additional features are a boon for today’s urban spaces where energy conserving, sustainably developed yet smart and technology driven buildings are the need of the hour.

It is noteworthy to mention here that architects and engineers have to take a slightly different approach in design and documentation for these buildings to be certified by a green building rating authority. There are several options for certifications across different countries and internationally from which one can choose the most relevant one for the project. These certifications provide a guideline on various aspects of construction which can be imbibed in [https://www.teslaoutsourcingservices.com/architectural-construction-drawings.php Construction Documentation Services] to create an energy efficient building.

An overview of THE EDGE

The Edge in Amsterdam a.k.a. ‘A computer with a roof’ is one of the greenest and smartest buildings in the worlds. It is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands and serves as the office headquarters of Deloitte.

[[File:clip_image001.jpg]]

This masterpiece designed by PLP Architecture and built by OVG Real Estate serves as an epitome of sustainability. It is designed to be oriented along the path of the sun to reap maximum benefits of its solar panels that are spread along an area of 65,000 sq. ft. covering its roof and facades. The abundance of solar panels enables the building to produce more energy than it consumes, the remaining of which it utilizes to power the nearby university.

Other smart and green elements of the building include using rainwater harvesting system for irrigation and flushing purposes, Ethernet-powered LED lighting and an aquifer thermal energy system used to constantly maintain building temperature in an effort to minimize its carbon footprint. The materials used to build The Edge were also sustainable i.e. they have a low environmental impact on their production, placing and maintenance. These materials are also reliable, durable, recyclable and reusable. Most of the building is made using glass. Glass, although a common material is an extremely resource - efficient material – it is completely recyclable and can be recycled over and over again.

The building also features an ecological corridor which is a green space designed over the nearby motorway allowing animals to cross over the site safely. The building creates a natural circle of air purification by ventilating the excess air back out through a heat exchanger to reuse and reheat the air. By fusing green architecture with a technology-driven philosophy, the building is a shining example of symbiosis that other industries can use to model themselves after.

Future of Green Buildings

In today’s era of rapid climate change, it is necessary, now more than ever, to adopt maximum ways in which we can incorporate sustainability and green buildings is one of the major keys to achieving it.

In recent years, energy efficiency has gained a priority in the list of essential qualities that a building must have. Even though initially it makes construction companies expand their project budgets, the falling costs, combined with government backing is a tremendous aid in driving change. Green buildings are in fact, the most valuable investment for the future of mankind that will play a key role in making this planet habitable again before it’s too late. Green buildings are the solution to meet net zero target needs as well as to become and make people environmentally conscious.

Although the concept of green architecture has come a long way, it still has an extensive scope in the future. The incorporation of more energy efficient technologies like advanced ventilation systems, heat pumps and smart building applications is the future of green buildings that we look forward to. These technologies are crucial to make the leap from ‘minimizing’ carbon footprint of the building to ‘eliminating’ it.

[[File:Blog176.jpg]]

The renovation process is tricky and nuanced and it might be difficult to find the right person or the company to carry out your commercial renovation project. In order to actually find that company you must do your due diligence. It would mean carrying out the right research, asking other people who have carried about renovations about their experience, doing a thorough review online etc. This would help you shortlist a few candidates who have a good track-record. It is also crucial to follow this up with the right questions. These questions should help you determine how good a fit they are for your project. Below we state four questions that you can ask them.

1. Ask about their previous projects:

This is something most companies put on their websites but you should nevertheless ask them to show some examples of their past work. You can, based on it, see if the information online correlates to the actual data. It will also help you see if they have undertaken a renovation project that is similar to yours before. You can also ask them about certain problems they faced and how they dealt with it. Their experience, problem solving capabilities, skill level etc. will also become a little clearer with the more questions you ask.

2. Ask them about what technologies they use:

When it comes to renovation there will be various uncertainties throughout the project. It is important to eliminate them right from the onset. This could perhaps be done best by using modern technology. You must ask the company if they use modern technology like [https://www.teslacad.co.uk/point-cloud-to-bim-services.php Scan to BIM Services], prefabrication etc. to ensure the best outcomes. Using laser scanning provides accurate information about the building right from the start and the BIM model created from that point cloud data allows the architects, designers and engineers to design, plan and carry out the reconstruction project effectively. It reduces the chances of any new information being discovered during the project that could jeopardize the timeline and cost.

3. Ask how accurate are their timelines:

An experienced company should be able to create a rough timeline right from the minute they hear about the logistics of the project. Following which they must be able to explain the same to the clients so that they can get an approximate idea about how long and in which manner their renovation process will take place. A proper timeline also takes into account possible causes of delay like weather, onsite accidents etc. It is important to be realistic about the timelines and remember if a company is promising quick completion then they might also be cutting corners.

4. Ask about the cost projections:

Finally, it is crucial to ask about the cost and get some clarity about it right from the start. It could happen that a given cost is quoted at the onset and that cost is significantly multiplied in the end. A little variation is expected but the final price shouldn’t be drastically changed. An experienced company will take into account all factors that could cause a possible increase in cost and provide a final cost. Moreover, if they are using [https://www.teslacad.co.uk/bim-services.php BIM Services], more specifically 5D BIM then it is possible to link the intelligent 3D model with cost related data. It connects cost with material quantities to provide cost estimations. Moreover, since the cost related data is connected with the quantities any change in it would reflect in the cost. Thus, using BIM ensures that the renovation project will not see any extreme cost changes.

The above four questions will help you figure out if the given company is right for your renovation project. You can also add questions based on your project requirements. Ultimately, always get the most clarity so that the project can go ahead seamlessly.

[[File:BIM1.jpg]]

Whenever term MEP is used in the construction sector it could refer to numerous mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire-protection systems throughout the building. It could be heating, ventilation or communication lines or even plumbing or drainage systems. MEP systems are the lifeline of any building and they critical for its optimal functioning. However, to design, install and maintain these MEP systems is no simple task. It requires proper planning right from the onset. Luckily, today the MEP engineers and construction professionals have Building Information Modeling, which allows them to effectively plan, design, construct and maintain the MEP systems of the building. From the preconstruction stage MEP BIM can be a powerful tool to gain accurate information, ensure accuracy and augment speed and time. In the current article we look at the benefits of [https://www.bimservicesindia.com/mep-bim-services.php MEP BIM Services] throughout the buildings lifecycle.

Efficient Designing and proper planning:

The most efficient way to ensure the proper functioning of MEP systems in the building is to prioritize MEP design right from the onset. With effective planning the prefabrication and onsite construction can be streamlined. Using BIM for planning and designing provides distinctive advantages. It enhances visualization, allows MEP engineers to properly see the MEP systems and spot any design errors. Secondly, with BIM it is possible for various members of both the MEP team as well as other stakeholders involved in the project to remain on the same page. Its cloud-based collaboration capabilities ensure that any information is updated in real time allowing all the members to take informed decisions. Finally, with [https://www.teslaoutsourcingservices.com/mep-bim-co-ordination-services.php BIM Coordination Services] any inter or intra disciplinary clash can be detected in the planning stage. It could be a hard clash occurring between two disciplines for instance a structural beam occupying the same space as plumbing pipe. It could also be soft clash which occurs when a given component or element is not given the geometrical or spatial tolerance it requires. Clash detection could mitigate risk as well as saves time, resources and money.

Streamlined prefabrication and onsite construction:

A lot MEP components today are prefabricated in offsite warehouse location and then transported, assembled and installed onsite. There are a lot of advantages of prefabrication like increased speed, sustainability, better quality etc. However, accuracy here is crucial. By using BIM, the shop drawings extracted for prefabrication are precise and thus, the MEP components can be assembled and installed onsite without any considerable errors. Similarly, the benefits of using the intelligent 3D model also extend to onsite construction. Primarily, with most clashes detected in the preconstruction stage a lot of onsite construction goes without major delays. With 4D BIM, the construction professionals can get accurate time related information about the delivery, installation etc. of MEP components. It is also allows to detect workflow clashes for instance the installation dates are scheduled before the delivery of components. Similarly with 5D BIM it is possible to get accurate cost-estimation. It connects cost with quantities and hence any changes in materials and quantities of MEP components will automatically reflect in the final cost.

Effective and quick Facility Management:

The role of MEP BIM doesn’t end with the construction of building. MEP systems need to be properly maintained throughout the buildings lifetime. The BIM model used for construction can be altered to reflect the as-built status and used for facility management. It could easily provide the facility managers all the information they would need about the location of MEP components, the manufacturer’s details, the asset codes etc. It is crucial to carry out quick repairs like leaking pipes, broken HVAC ducts etc. Moreover, as the buildings age the MEP systems also reach the end of their useful life. They could then become harmful and quite draining on resources. It is why they need to be replaced or upgraded with time. Sometimes they also need to be updated because there are more efficient and energy saving options available.

Thus, we can from the above points state that MEP BIM Services are crucial throughout the buildings lifecycle.

[[File:64530a13d01e7de9c95ffa2058f9d33a.jpg]]

In a study that was conducted by the Residential Care for Elderly it was determined that 800,000 to a million elderly people live in licensed supportive housing in the United States alone. With increased urbanization and the constant rise of nuclear families the demand and importance of senior living facilities will only increase. When it comes to renovating a senior living facility there are a few things which must be considered like wide-space living area, inclusion of ramps and lifts, soft-edge furniture, appliances that are easy to use etc. The main priority of course is their safety and security but beyond that there are a few design elements which can be included to make the golden years of senior citizens more enjoyable and comfortable. Here are a few tips that construction companies can follow:

1. Have a fixed timeline:

When it comes to renovating or reconstructing an existing senior living facility it is crucial that the construction companies have a proper plan in place which ensures that the project is completed in time. Time constraints are crucial in all renovation projects especially when it comes to senior living facilities as they might either need to relocate or may at least need to make considerable adjustments. It might be difficult for senior citizens to adjust to new place and even small changes to their schedule might be quite inconvenient for them. Using [https://www.teslaoutsourcingservices.com/point-cloud-to-bim.php Point Cloud to BIM Services] could be quite beneficial here. Having the right information about the current facility condition could enable the architects and designers to better plan and provide a definite timeframe. It ensures that there are no surprises onsite which could slow down the process. Moreover, conventional BIM deliverables like clash detection can spot any errors in preconstruction and reduce time delays while 4D BIM can link time related data to the 3D model and ensure the project is completed on time.

2. Talk to the residents:

Before commencing the renovation process, it is important to talk to the people who stay there and who work there. They will be better able to state their requirements and it provides the architects and designers an insight to better plan and design a facility which meets the aim. They can even show the final design to the residents and get their inputs. If anything is impractical or unnecessary then it can be removed from the design. Moreover, it fosters an environment of trust and reassures the inhabitants that they are in safe hands.

3. Comfort over style:

There are a few design elements which are necessary when it comes to senior living facilities. Some of them being that chairs should offer comfort and support, the bathrooms should have senior appropriate heights and handles, the facility should have wheelchair access, the colours should not be overly bright etc. Even the rooms should not be extremely spaced out with all the necessities being close by. Every small detail must be considered and the final design should ensure that their comfort is the priority.

4. Use technology to advantage:

There are variety of ways in which technology can be incorporated in senior facilities to make their lives more interesting and comfortable. It can be used as means for ensuring safety for instance, motion sensors can be used to alert the staff if the resident falls from the bed or if the senior has been stationary for a long time then the device can alert the nurse to check on them. They can also use digital medication dispensers to ensure they take their medication at the right time and in correct amount. Technology can also be used to increase their communication with their family or even for entertainment purpose.

5. Facility Maintenance:

Once the renovation is completed it is necessary to ensure that the property is being thoroughly maintained. If [https://www.teslaoutsourcingservices.com/bim-services.php BIM Services] were used in the reconstruction stage, then the model can be updated to reflect the as-built changes and be used for maintenance. It can provide information about location of components, manufacturer’s details, serial numbers etc. which is crucial to carry out quick repairs so that it causes less discomfort. They can also be used to make necessary updates and ensure optimal functioning of building components. Proper facility management is important for the continued safety and comfort of the inhabitants.

Thus, the construction company looking towards renovation or reconstruction should take the above five points into consideration. It will allow them to renovate the facility in a manner that leads to better satisfaction.

Overview

Building Information Modeling (BIM) brings many benefits to the construction industry due to which it is largely accepted worldwide and adopted by many countries. In 1986, the term BIM came into existence, and since then it is transforming the construction industry. Countries that are majorly using [https://www.teslaoutsourcingservices.com/bim-services.php BIM Modeling] have a rich site in the infrastructure phase which in turn helps to bring improvements in productivity and cost-savings to all the AEC industry.

Countries who have adopted BIM

United Kingdom

The UK aims to enhance the mindset practice of all the designers, contractors and engineers to obtain new work and growth opportunities. BIM gets mandated in the UK since April 2016 where every construction and the entire government project are held on BIM Level 2. According to the National BIM Report 2018 NBS, After BIM mandatory 20% of industry have started adopting it successfully and attained a 12% increase since 2017. BIM is implemented prevalently everywhere in all the projects.

United States

BIM implemented in the United States since the early 1970s but being the early adopter, it didn’t gain the United States any advantages and instead the process of using BIM has slowed down. United States Government has still not thought of making BIM mandatory. The US General Services Administration (GSA) prepared 3D and 4D BIM Program way back in 2003. This program got BIM adoption mandated for all the Public Buildings Service Projects. Wisconsin was the first state from the United States who has implemented BIM for public works with a budget of $5 million. Gradually BIM adoption is increasing its awareness in the United States and has positively impacted on the AEC industry. United States holds 72% of BIM adoption by the construction Companies.

Singapore

BIM is identified as the core element for Singapore to become the smartest nation Construction, and Real Estate Network, or CORENET, the Building & Construction Authority have implemented the use of BIM e-submission in the construction industry, making it mandatory in 2015 for all the projects greater than 5000 Sq. Mts. In recent years, the government of Singapore has showcased productivity in the construction industry due to which BIM adoption has been seen as strategic actions. The BCA came up with BIM collaboration roadmap throughout virtual design and construction which facilities the use of BIM for Facility Management and Smart Nation.

France

In 2014, The French government developed BIM standards for infrastructure projects along with using BIM to make 5, 00,000 houses by 2017. The government had allocated Euro 20 million to digitalize the building industry due to which in the nearer future BIM will be mandatory in public procurement. For the construction industry in France, the government has taken the initiative as Digital Transition Plan which aimed at achieving sustainability and reduces costs, since after this in 2017 BIM gets mandated in France.

Germany

Around 90% of owners are demanding to use BIM and laid its emphasis on the commercial and the residential buildings. The German government still relies on the conventional method used by the AEC industry which has not fully accepted BIM adoption and for which in 2015 government announced Digital Building Platform plan to be developed. It is believed that by 2020 BIM will be mandatory for public infrastructure projects.

China

In 2001, BIM implementation in China had been in the discussion by the Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Housing and Urban-rural Development. According to a survey conducted, it was concluded that less than 15% of companies were using BIM. MOHURD in its 12th Five-Year Plan proposed a plan for improvisation work in the construction industry and said that BIM is not mandating to use. National standard of BIM practices has begun and approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China. By the end of 2020, BIM will be used effectively more by construction firms. In 2009, Hong Kong Building Information Modeling (HKBIM) was incorporated. Many government authorities have started focusing on UK Level 2 Standards and give training for the same.

Scandinavia

Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden have been the early adopters of BIM technologies. Finland had implemented BIM technology since 2002 and by 2007 Finland mandated that all the design software must be verified with Industry Foundation Class (IFC) Certification. IFC is a file format that can be used for shared models and can work independently on any piece of design software.

In Denmark, BIM mandated its state clients, Palace and Properties Agency, Defence Construction Service to adopt BIM practices while several private firms are working on Research and Development for BIM adoption practices.

Sweden ranks high in BIM adoption practices, and best practices guides for the same have already been published even in the absence of government-led guidelines. The government also has taken initiatives to facilitate its implementation and public organization to mandate the use of BIM in 2015.

The civil state client Statsbygg and Norwegian Homebuilders Association have promoted the use of BIM. All the civil state client projects used IFC formats and BIM for constructing the buildings during 2010. SINTEF has conducted thorough research on BIM to improve the construction and operations of the buildings.

Australia

Many private sectors, as well as business owners, have started adopting BIM at faster rates. For all the public areas, a standard like PAS1192-2 is used for the adoption of BIM due to lack of skill and work in isolation makes it crumble for the adoption of BIM in Australia. No proper methodology is developed here to measure the level of maturity. Support and Guidance are asked from the United States to initiate BIM adoption practices well in Australia.

Europe

BIM implementation is showing good progress in Europe. BIM adoption is successfully done by Companies, Academics, Professionals, and government institutions. Standard BIM practices and digitalization in the industry is a must and can bring huge success for Europe’s overall construction industry. Europe BIM task group in 2016 was established to develop a digital construction sector and has brought progressive impacts on adoption of BIM in the country.

Canada

BIM adoption in Canada is still at the existence stage with around 31% of the Canadian industry using BIM. No federal government has mandated BIM in the country yet but in the near future can increase the adoption of the use of BIM. Canada’s infrastructure industry can change its recent conditions by mandating BIM and its standards. In 2004, building SMART Canada started increasing the activities of using BIM for all construction projects. By 2010 Council by Institute of BIM in Canada (IBC) was formed to lead and facilitate the use of BIM in the construction industry.

India

The second largest industry in India is AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and operations). Gradually with all its efforts are focusing its shift to BIM. It can be very cost-saving technology and effective for India, but we are still on the design implementation level. Private Sector has started using BIM standards for Nagpur rail project which had used the 5D BIM technology to take it to another level of the project in the whole construction industry. BIM technologies such as [https://www.teslaoutsourcingservices.com/mep-bim-co-ordination-services.php BIM Co-ordination] and Clash Detection processes would be used to enhance the construction quality, reduction in cost and greater efficiency in the project. With a growing economy and understanding of BIM in the construction industry, the entire practitioners involved can effectively adopt BIM.

Conclusion

Every country must include effective use of BIM in their construction projects for achieving many benefits such as reduced costs, time and efficiency. Every part of the world have readily accepted BIM standards and started its practices. It helps to replace the conventional methods of construction industry worldwide. Many updates in BIM technology can help them communicate their design more realistic and better approach that can even work on the sustainability of energy consumption in the near future.

What does BIM have in store for the construction industry?

2018-11-14T07:05:24Z

Teslaos:

[https://www.teslaoutsourcingservices.com/bim-services.php BIM Modelling] is one of the most fascinating technologies that has evolved within the construction industry in the last couple of decade. This technology is now being used by large, medium and small scale companies to boost their construction progress. This blog speaks about the most recent and upcoming technologies in virtual construction modeling and the utilization.

[[File:BIM-Modelling.jpg]]

Other D’s of BIM: Apart from the 3rd “Dimension” there are other dimensions that are worth noticing. In the year 2018, globally there was a steep growth that was noted in the utilization of 3D modelling. However the other dimensions such as 4D construction sequencing, 5D Costing, 6D Energy Analysis and 7D – Facility management. Along with the standards conceptual designing, [https://www.teslaoutsourcingservices.com/mep-bim-co-ordination-services.php BIM Coordination] and Shop Drawings, there are additional features that Virtual construction modeling offers. Apart from virtually visualizing the entire building, we can also focus on the utilization of the building after it is constructed.

AR & VR: Augmented reality and Virtual Reality are trending currently and are bringing about great changes in the construction sector. These services can be used as a great tool for presentation and can be used on site to check clashes. Augmented reality helps in remote management of projects off site

Prefabrication and Installation Processes

Construction technologies are changing faster than what we can imagine. The overall way of thinking has changed. With people focusing more on space utilization and reduced cost, prefabricated components that can be installed is in vogue. Rest of the year and coming 5 years will see an accelerated growth. The key benefits of using prefabrication and installation process is cost efficiency and faster construction process. Revit and other fabrication software are capable of creating prefabricated components in a customized manner that can be directly fabricated using the CNC machines.

Additional plug-ins, Real time clash detection

With an upswing within the construction industry, there are many other plug-ins and additional technologies that have evolved within the software. Family Editors, Fabrication components availability in Revit 2018, live and real time clash detection etc. are some of the add-ons that are developed based on user feedback and requirements. BIM Modelers, BIM Coordination experts etc. can choose to work on their desired tools based on their needs. Autodesk Revit also offers “Building Design Suites” to ensure all the pre-construction requirements are met in a single pack instead of users hunting around for multiple functions in different software.

Cloud, BIM 360

Lot of BIM tools have broke the internet with excellent benefits in the construction industry. Software like BIM 360 etc. has gained momentum and are being widely used for BIM Coordination. Different parties involved in a single project can access a real time model at any point and make changes. Collaborative approach is one of the key features with the internet based or cloud based technology. BIM models could be easily shared with the building site and report from the building site could happen quickly, facilitating a productive collaboration.

Scan to BIM Modelling, GIS, Topography

Point cloud to BIM or scan to BIM Modelling is currently at the peak of its utilization. Most of the renovation or restoration projects are accomplished using laser scan technology. With the help of the 3D laser scanner we can scan the old structures and create an as built model. This technology is not limited only to buildings Dams, Bridges, topography around sites etc. are also done through laser scanning. Also GIS integrated with BIM and scanning is a recent development.

BIM Families or Revit content creation

Asset tagging, BIM family creation is also growing. The latest development in the BIM arena is creating components with manufacturer data, supplier information, parameters, asset tags etc. These Revit families can be stand alone and put on sale online. Users can review and purchase these components online based on the prototype presented online.

Green Building

Energy modeling and susceptibility to the environment is one of the key interests globally. Huge cost cutting and savings can be made by less emission of carbon-di-oxide in the environments. This analysis can be done and calculations can be made as to what material should be used for construction and in what quantity.

Conclusions: These are some of the upcoming trends in the field of BIM today but they are not going to be used forever. Some other technology will evolve and take over the existing one. “Change is the only constant” proves right in this scenario.
