Building Information Modeling endorses green construction! When it comes to Architectural Engineering and Construction industry green construction remains the centre of attraction for architects and engineers. In other words green construction is the latest buzzword among architects, engineers, contractors and even building owners. Today the potential property buyers aspire to have green buildings looking at the destruction created by construction activities across the world. In this case green buildings provide solace to owners as well as to AEC professionals who are accountable for accomplishing construction projects. Surveys accomplished by environmentalists across the world are providing enough evidence for the harm caused by construction industry to environment. Tremendous amount of materials and resources are wasted due to poor management of construction process.
All these environmental issues have given shape to green construction. Design and construction professionals across the globe are trying to develop such buildings which do not have any sort of adverse affect on the environment. Green buildings are constructed with a lot of effort when it comes to developing their design and analyzing it for energy consumption. In other words when a green building is
developed by architects and engineers they have to pay special attention to its design. Since design of a building can make a huge difference when it comes to energy consumption, architects and engineers pay hundred percent attentions to its development. For developing effective design for constructing green buildings design and construction professionals optimize BIM technology. With the assistance of BIM technology AEC professionals develop an effective energy analytical model which helps them in identifying the energy requirements of the building. Energy analysis is accomplished by design and construction professionals with the support of energy analytical model. This model incorporates all the indispensable construction information such as materials used in the building, their quantity, information related to the design of different building disciplines etc. With the assistance of this model design and construction professionals can easily figure out the energy requirements of the buildings. If in case they feel that a bit of design change can help in energy consumption, they can conveniently alter the existing design. In this way green buildings can be developed by AEC professionals with the assistance of Building Information Modeling technology.
