How BIM Brings LEED V4 Certified Sustainable Design (Green Building) to Construction?

Image
Mr. Biswaroop Todi, Global Vice President, Pinnacle Infotech discusses the power of BIM (Building Information Modeling) to bring LEED V4 Certified Sustainable Design to Construction LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) – the most extensively used green building rating system in the world provides a framework to craft efficient and cost-saving solution.   Consequently, the construction companies started implementing this universally acknowledged symbol of sustainability in their work process. However, a number of challenges are faced by Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) firms for bringing LEED V4 (the newest version of LEED) to construction. We will explore how BIM (Building Information Modeling) Technology helps to meet the criteria of LEED Credit Categories in a construction project, resolving the challenges of Environmental Factors, Water Scarcity, Resource Management, Long Material Lead Time, Benchmarking Energy Usage, Accurate Structural Ana

BIM Shaping the Future of Architectural Design in USA & UK

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is shaping the future of Architectural Design in USA . The BIM work process helps to eliminate the mistakes and reduce wastages. Virtual construction in 3D BIM resolves potential construction issues by generating RFIs and collaborating with project consultants and architects. BIM assists architects in the process of design development through various stages of design development such as concept design, schematic design and construction documentation. Sun path is also simulated for accessing building performance. Key BIM Services for Architects include: BIM Design Development & Coordination Design Evolution process includes Concept Design, Schematic and Detailed Design Development.   Visualization through BIM BIM helps design verification by ensuring that the architectural design meets client requirement through virtual mockup of building. A virtual tour of a proposed building is created through 3D renderings & walkth
