Virtual reality as a tool for sustainable design

Construction Specifier

Recent developments in virtual reality (VR) technology allow for the visualization of unbuilt information as full-scale occupiable environments, providing previously unavailable insight to designers, clients, and other stakeholders. BIM to VR for spatial visualization.

BIM and Cloud Computing ā€“ Get Beyond 3D Visualization and Focus Upon the ā€œIā€

Building Information Management

Current the most common being use of proprietary 3D visualization software for the purpose of supporting the design and construction phases of the facility life-cycle. Standardized taxonomies and data architectures, and. All of these are common within all phases of construction, repair, renovation, or sustainability projects.

BIM ( Building Information Modeling ), Cloud-computing, Changement Management, and Architecture, Engineering, and Construction ā€“ III

Building Information Management

Cloud-computing will have a much more significant impact upon how the built environment is managed than 3D visualization. Data silos evolved from improper higher education and professional training practices, inefficient and adversarial construction delivery methods, as well as piecemeal IT procurement policies.

LEAN Construction Delivery Process

Building Information Management

3D visualization and technology will do little to solve construction project delivery woes. The most widely used and successful LEAN construction delivery methods are Integrated Project Delivery, IPD, for major new construction, and Job Order Contracting, JOC, for renovation, repair, maintenance, sustainability, and minor new construction.

BIM, Big Data, and Efficient Life-cycle Management of the Built Environment

Building Information Management

3D visualization software products currently promoted as BIM (Building Information Modeling) are not solutions for this task. Organizations that can best harness “Big data” in within the AECOO sector (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operations, Owner) will hold a distinct competitive advantage.

Collaboration, Transparency, Accuracy, Process, and supporting Technology ā€“ The Keys to Improved Productivity for Building Construction, Renovation, Repair, and Sustainability

Building Information Management

Interoperability is a common “buzzword” used whenever you here a discussion about improving productivity with the AECOO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owners, Operations) industry sector. Even today, many view BIM as 3D visualization, vs. life-cycle building management supported by technology!
