Better Energy Modeling Means More Energy Efficient Buildings
Modeling is a fundamental but often undervalued element of the design process. Before ground is broken or the first nail is purchased, modeling allows us to assess, develop and perfect the structure or system we plan to build. Without modeling the things we build would be less efficient, lack functionality and they would miss numerous […]
Blockchain Series: Developing Trust to Unleash the Potential of Smart Buildings
“From energy management to billing, blockchain will eventually touch everything in buildings,” says Joseph Aamidor, of Aamidor Consulting. To conclude our April Blockchain Series, we look at how blockchain could change the way to construct, own, let and operate our buildings. Blockchain on Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) The AEC industry is already getting quite […]
BIM is Creating a Structure of Innovation to Drive Construction into the Digital Era
“Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the both the leading edge and the foundation of construction innovation”, says Ivanka Iordanova, Director of Pomerleau BIM-VDC. In an industry that has typically struggled to keep up with digitization trends and productivity targets, recent years have seen BIM become the construction sector’s shining light of innovation. Now 2018 seems […]
Video: BIM & Beyond! A Conversation with Paul Wilkinson
Memoori talked to Paul Wilkinson from ExtranetEvolution.com about Digitizing the Construction Industry. We discussed a host of topics including BIM & Multi Disciplinary Collaboration across the Built Environment! You can follow Paul on Twitter. Our brand new YouTube Channel called The Smart Building Series, features in-depth interviews with stakeholders from across the industry, including End […]
Building Greater Efficiency into the Construction Industry
2017 was an important year for the construction industry. Consultancy firm McKinsey estimates the sector to now be worth around $10 trillion, potentially growing up to $14 trillion by 2025. While the numbers are impressive, what made 2017 so important for the construction industry was realizing its inefficiencies. The early introduction of advanced technologies have […]
Using Generative Design, Buildings can Mimic the World’s Greatest Designer – Mother Nature
There are few better designers in this world than Mother Nature herself. Not short on time, Nature’s evolutionary approach to design weeds out weaknesses and promotes strengths over millions and even billions of years in order to create masterpieces that seem perfectly suited for their environments. From lichen, to dragonflies, to humans, each successful life […]
Putting 3D People Into 3D Building Design With BIM & Advanced Crowd Simulations
Have you ever looked at architectural illustrations, showing relaxed people happily interacting with their built environment, all distributed evenly across the landscape, and thought; that’s not how our buildings and cities actually look. The truth is that many buildings have one busy entrance/exit and another that is not used; cities have a crowded street next […]
Reconsidering BIM Strategy: Collaboration Not Fragmentation
There has been significant praise heaped upon the UK government for its building information modelling (BIM) adoption strategy. “The UK’s approach to BIM is seen as the model by the rest of the world,” said Gavin Bonner, Global BIM Manager at Cundall. Its mandate on BIM use in all public sector projects has driven the […]
