BIM is a whole new work methodology in the development of buildings and cities. From the first project idea to the demolition of the building to be replaced by something else. From the way the agents involved relate to the maintenance of the building 40 years after it was built, they will be very different from today, and I think we all dare to say that it will also be better. BIM is the centralization of all the information regarding the building or infrastructure in a single file that tells us about structure, materials, meeting details, architecture, distribution, furniture?, budget, installation calculations,... Why not also energy efficiency? This is something that has not yet been integrated but I understand that it is clearly planned for the next phase. With the change in methodology, as expected, there is a great stir in the creation of support elements for the designer: there is no company that is not creating its products in BIM format. These digital versions of the products store a large amount of information, some of a technical nature. Wouldn't it be a good idea to take advantage of this wave of development of tools and elements to incorporate data on energy efficiency , thermal behavior, tightness, CO2 emissions , etc.
BIM We have very powerful energy behavior calculation programs such as DesignBuilder , but its modeling system is tedious, slow and not very versatile. We have energy certification programs that are an absolute joke. And then we have the certification tools of private entities such as PassivHaus, LEED or BREEAM , although the latter are only indicative for the fire test that is carried out after construction. On the other hand, we have Industry Email List hundreds of small programs that calculate the building's footprint, material emissions, future behavior,... It will be a matter of time before BIM programs integrate all these functions, putting information about our project at our fingertips that we do not have now because we do not earn enough to dedicate ourselves to introducing the project in 5 different programs. With this I am not trying to excuse the bad practices (which we know are like 90% of practices) of those who act indifferently towards the environment. There are and have been many sources of information about what was responsible and conscious and what was not in terms of construction.
There are many very good and very sustainable projects to prove it. But in this race of popular awareness that seems to never end, this tool can be the turning point , the one that puts all the options before you, evidencing the impact of each one. It is clear that BIM is here to stay even if it is going to cost us a fundamental change, and I am looking forward to it absorbing more and more responsibilities."Architecture is not about mathematics or zoning, it is about the visceral emotions it provokes in us." Marc Kushner is co-founder of the architecture firm HWKN and CEO of the famous Architizer . He has published a book and given a TED talk in which he attempts to demonstrate that, in the last 30 years, citizen participation in architecture has been increasing to become an essential element of design. Social media and media have a constant stream of response and criticism to architecture before it has even been built. Thus, it has the capacity and tendency to adapt to the user's needs better than ever. "We are experiencing the greatest historical revolution in architecture since the appearance of concrete, steel and the elevator: the communications revolution, " says Kushner.
