How BIM Improves Sustainability in Construction Projects?

Hi, everyone! With the new year comes new responsibilities and there can’t be anything better than contributing towards sustainability especially if you are associated with the industries of architecture and construction. Keeping in mind the dire need to make informed decisions regarding energy-efficient practices, waste reduction and more, in today’s blog, we will talk about BIM Sustainability in construction projects.

Without a doubt, sustainability has become one of the top priorities for any construction project and rightly so but even in this day and time, many people are still unaware about how they can do just that when it comes to designing and building a structure. We feel pleased to mention here that in an ever-evolving world of architecture and construction, Building Information Modeling (BIM), with its transformative technology not only allows the users to enhance efficiency in all that they are working on but also helps them in chalking out and then achieving their sustainability goals. It is also safe to say that BIM is an extremely powerful tool that allows architects, designers, engineers, contractors and other stakeholders to streamline environmentally friendly processes strategically.  

Role of BIM in Sustainabe Construction

As you are aware BIM is a digital technology that allows architecture and construction-related professionals to create virtual models of infrastructures and buildings; this technology also allows the creation of sustainable built environments for anyone & everyone but there is more to it for example BIM also allows:  

1. Optimised Planning

With BIM, the creation of 3D models of infrastructures and buildings becomes super easy which also enables the architects, contracts and other project team members to not only create optimised designs through strategic planning but also get to enjoy proposing and then later on, working on energy efficient projects by also delegating only the resources that are required for the projects.  

Furthermore, by making the most of BIM Sustainability, the stakeholders can analyse, evaluate and identify the most sustainable solutions for their projects such as going for eco-friendly construction materials, creating designs for natural lighting and utilising Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning or HVAC systems that are energy efficient.  

2. Optimised Resource Utilization

If you wish to take steps to reduce your carbon footprint and save energy costs, then allow us to share that with BIM, you will be able to do that and more as it lets you initiate precise and accurate material specifications and as a result, you will be able to minimise construction waste. In addition to that, you will also notice how BIM has improved sustainability for your overall project.  

We would also like to talk about how through a model of BIM Sustainability you can also track the usage of materials throughout the lifecycle of your project(s) and incorporate the use of locally sourced products as well. By doing so, you will not only ensure that you opted for eco-friendly materials, but you will also be able to help local brands grow. That’s like a win-win situation for not just you or your clients but for other brands and in the bigger perspective, for the environment. 

3. Enhanced Energy Performance Simulation

BIM Sustainability also allows the users to analyse, evaluate and enhance the energy efficiency of a building way before the construction even begins. You will get to select the optimal and renewable energy resources, and high-performing insulation materials and in addition to that, you will also get to opt for efficient HVAC systems to ensure maximum sustainability and contribute towards reducing the energy consumption of any building. And all of that can be done while you are in the design stage so, that when you progress forward to execute your project, you know that you have made just the right choices.  

4. Streamlined Collaboration

When we talk about BIM and how it helps improve sustainability, we cannot resist talking about the streamlined communication and collaboration that it allows as it ensures the smooth delivery of the projects because multiple stakeholders with their expert advice can contribute towards making informed decisions and what else do you need to efficiently work and produce results than having constructive conversations in real-time on crucial challenges such as sustainability, using energy efficient resources, etc.  

BIM Sustainability: How DDC Solutions Enables Greener Building

Having talked about how BIM is a smart and sustainable choice for all your construction projects, we would now like to talk about how the experts at DDC Solutions are ready to consult, guide and assist you to carry out your projects differently than what you have been doing in the past. Know that BIM Sustainability is more than a game changer when it comes to optimised design and planning so when we say don’t underestimate both the power and efficiency of BIM, we want you to know that it’s the only way to go.  

Also, it is a fact that BIM has and will continue to revolutionise project management for the people in the architecture and construction industries but even more so, it allows for building a greener tomorrow for our future generations. Allow us to share how you can also enable yourself and your teams to construct landscapes that are designed with state-of-the-art technology and are super sustainable!  

1. Pioneer Tomorrow’s Landscapes with DDC Solutions

By utilising the efficiency and mastery of BIM, the experts at DDC Solutions help you work on detailed 3D models – even the ones that require intricate details to be incorporated that are crucial for the design and development stages of any construction project. With the expertise and guidance of the designers at DDC, you can ensure optimised design and planning of energy-efficient infrastructures and buildings. 

2. Smart Resource Utilisation Made Possible with DDC Solutions

While the multidisciplinary teams at DDC Solutions make it super easy for their clients to create and visualise 3D models and incorporate revisions (if necessary), they also help you ensure that you are utilising your resources efficiently. And since smart resource management is crucial for the successful delivery of any construction project, with the help of DDC, you can evaluate your resources in a better way and opt for practices that will minimise the carbon footprint throughout the process.  

3. DDC Solutions Makes Cost-Efficient Project Management Easy
