What is the requirement of developing green buildings?

Environmental problems faced by present generation are the main reason behind the green building concept which is very new to ACE industry.  The rapid construction that is taking place in the entire world is highly accountable for the consumption of energy. Energy consumption is a major issue today, as we are slowly getting over with our energy stock.  If we keep on consuming and wasting energy than chances are that, future generations will have to suffer because of this.

A lot of water, electricity, fertile land, natural vegetation etc are getting wasted due to construction activities, which is heavily affecting our environment. So in a way construction is responsible for climate change issues and increase in earth’s temperature. If construction activities continue to grow like this we are going to face more and more natural calamities which are very dangerous for human survival.

All these issues have given shape to green buildings or sustainable buildings.  The building industry is also evolving day by day especially when it comes to making use of technology. The high technology that is used by architects and engineers is allowing them to create sustainable design for building systems.

Revit is one such software that is developed by Autodesk, which is transforming the green building concept. In other words green buildings have become reality only because of Revit’s powerful tools and features. They allow the users to develop an energy analytical model which assists in performing energy analysis for building systems. The 3D models generated by Revit can be speedily converted into analytical model. Since these models are equipped with advanced information concerning design of building systems it can be optimized to perform energy analysis. 

Revit’s tool specially its ‘conceptual energy analysis tool’ is very crucial for performing energy analysis for designed buildings. Architects and engineers optimize this for making better decisions regarding building’s design. By doing energy analysis, architects come to know, which building part is responsible for consuming more energy than the rest, or what kind of material consumes more energy etc. So in this way things which are responsible for consuming more energy are eliminated from the design by making it more desirable. Hence by performing energy analysis architects can develop high quality energy efficient buildings.

BIM Execution Plan and Its Importance for Construction Companies

Image
Overview The advent of BIM Modeling into the construction industry has prevailed the implementation of BIM Execution Plan to enhance the right flow of work to execute the project successfully. It can be analysis and execution during various phases of the project. What is BIM Execution Plan? BIM Execution Plan is a complex and detailed document that helps the project team to identify and execute the role of BIM in various phases of construction in the project. BEP needs to be accurate to make the teams keep on track by focusing on details, saving on time and reduces rework. BEP is primarily used when there is a higher level of complexity and project size is huge. It lays an overall plan with details as to how the process will be executed. It is the process of creating a digital model of building or structures to aid collaboration among people involved in the project. BEP Comprises of type of information as followed: •     How to create data in BIM fil...

An Introduction of 4D BIM Techniques

Image
Overview Construction scheduling in project management is about recording project benchmarks, outputs, start and end date of a predetermined building project. 4D BIM that caters to Construction Scheduling is also known as Construction sequencing. It includes project drafting and project extraction arrangement for every project management. Construction Scheduling is vital for the construction as labor force, equipment and other related activities require effective organizing and scheduling of construction activities. It helps in knowing the time to accomplish the project and streamline the cost estimation factor for all the construction professionals. Construction scheduling techniques of projects Several techniques help the contractor to keep construction scheduling of the project. Aiding in project requirement assessment and overcome challenges of the project schedule. Bar Charts: It is considered as one of the most common technique to generate construction schedul...

BIM modeling services: Which software solutions can be used for developing 3D parametric models?

Building Information Modeling technology is closely related to the development of 3D parametric models for architecture, structure and MEP, which are effectively packed with all the essential information pertaining to design and construction. Building Information Modeling services have become the cardinal requirement for architects and engineers when it comes to the flawless execution of building projects.  Building Information Modeling services are not only important for design and construction professionals but also for building owners, construction managers and fabricators etc.  BIM is the process of developing the entire building in virtual world through high-end Building Information Modeling applications like Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP. All these BIM applications are used for developing the entire building in 3D. Actually the design of every building discipline is separately represented through 3D parametric models which are generat...
