Navigant Research Report Shows Building Information Modeling Can Help Accelerate the Transformation of Buildings to Smart, Optimized, and Intelligent
BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/BIM?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#BIMlt;/agt;–A new report from Navigant
Research examines how building information modeling (BIM) adds value
to intelligent buildings.
BIM, which has been used since the 1980s under different names and
guises, is a collaborative way of using and sharing work products in the
architectural, engineering, and construction industries. The essence of
this collaboration is documented, accessible, and usable information
that enables access to information during each step in a building’s life
cycle, from design to demolition. Click
to tweet: According to a new report from @NavigantRSRCH,
BIM can help accelerate the transformation of buildings into smart,
optimized intelligent buildings, as well as advance the development of
smart cities, smart infrastructure, and the Energy Cloud.
“The foundation of intelligent building technologies is data and
ultimately better information,” says Tom Machinchick, principal research
analyst with Navigant Research. “Digitally documenting and integrating
all aspects of a building adds value each step of the way.”
According to the report, the most transformative aspect of BIM is in the
modeling and application of sophisticated new technologies such as
Internet of Things (IoT) and the interconnectivity of a wider range of
assets that include city infrastructures, utility grids, transportation
networks, and the emerging Energy Cloud. BIM also allows building
tenants, city residents, and businesses to be coordinated in a holistic
manner to provide value-added services across a wide swath of markets
and constituents.
The report, How
BIM Adds Value to Intelligent Buildings explores how early BIM
adoption drives value through the building life cycle and discusses how
it supports the evolution of smart cities and the Energy Cloud.
Recommendations are provided for buildings industry stakeholders on how
best to realize the value of BIM through the life cycle of the building,
as well as reap benefits beyond the building itself. An Executive
Summary of the report is available for free download on the Navigant
Research website.
