High performing green buildings can be constructed by using BIM

What defines a green building?  A building which performs effectively after its construction, utilizes most of the natural energy resources for meeting up its energy requirements and which is constructed with effective utilization of materials and resources can be considered as a green building.  When it comes to building performance after construction, green buildings have effective mechanism for controlling temperature and lighting uses of the building as effective HVAC and electrical systems are designed for them during preconstruction. Energy conservation remains the major focus of these buildings which are developed with the support of cutting edge technology.



The deteriorating environmental conditions are the major reasons behind the acceptance of green building concept. Construction industry has done a huge damage to environment and is continuously doing so as large number of construction activities are executed every day by AEC professionals. Construction activities which are taking place all over the world are leading to rapid deforestation which is ultimately resulting into ecological misbalance. Today the entire world is facing problems such as extreme winters, highly scorching summers and unpredicted floods etc. and all this clearly indicates that something is going wrong, when it comes to maintaining ecological balance.

Green construction is huge step towards fixing environmental problems. When a green building is constructed design and construction professionals focus on saving energy and water use and they also concentrate on minimizing wastage of materials. But how is this done by them. Execution of energy modeling services in the early design phase is tremendously important for developing green buildings. By executing energy modeling services, key building professionals can develop high performing architectural, structural and MEP design. Building design software Revit is highly useful for carrying out energy modeling services since building professionals can quickly convert design and construction data that is stored within BIM models into energy models. His data can be analyzed effectively by BIM modelers for identifying building performance. One the basis of that, changes can be made to design for improving building’s performance.

So it’s clear that highly effective green buildings can be constructed considering the fact that energy modeling services are executed during design phase.

Photo-realistic floor plans crucial for clients understand of the building

Well, here comes a suggestion for all those people who are willing to buy or purchase their own house, ‘don’t buy it without checking the rendered floor plans’ since they are going to assist you in getting a far better understanding of the house. I would not mind saying fool to those people who go ahead with the buying plans without properly visualizing the property. Guys don’t fall victims of such instances, it is difficult to pay the price later on because once you have already bought the house there is hardly anything you can do about it. That means you have to stick to the house until and unless you again become capable of purchasing a new one. One can be considered an intelligent buyer only when he or she makes the best use of all the possible services available to him or her. When it comes to investing your money on property, please assure yourself that all the important measures have been taken by you. 3D Floor Plan Avail yourself with a photo-realistic floor plan: N...

MEP systems provide the momentum to the building

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are incredibly crucial for any sort of building, be it residential, commercial or industrial.   The design for these systems is prepared by MEP modelers who have vast experience in the execution of BIM modeling services.  They develop design for MEP systems in Revit MEP software which is quintessentially dedicated to the design development of MEP systems only. MEP systems consist of HVAC systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems. Detailed explanation of these systems is following  HVAC Systems These systems comprise of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. HVAC systems have to be accurate since they are responsible for the circulation of various resources. The design of these systems must be created in a way that they reach to every part of the building where they supposed to reach. They are utilized in all kinds of building projects as well as non building projects such as in...
