Green BIM—How Building Information Modeling is Contributing toGreen Design and Construction
McGraw-Hill Construction, New York 10020, the United States |
Recently, green buildings and green BIM have become the new focus in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. All of BIM users are expecting to implement BIM tools at the higher level to meet the sustainability goal of green buildings. In this regard, McGraw-Hill Construction conducted the 2010 Green BIM study for 494 AEC companies around the United States. This report explores how firms that use BIM on green projects and have found that it has improved project outcomes. It examines what drives them to practice Green BIM and how many of them are employing specific tools, and measures their satisfaction with those tools. It also compares those Green BIM firms to BIM users not currently using BIM for green projects, and examines how many of these non-Green BIM companies expect to employ Green BIM in the future and which tools they expect to be most useful to them in meeting sustainability goals. The report offers a glimpse into how the growing green market can be a major force in driving the overall adoption of BIM as the usefulness of BIM for green work becomes more widely known in the industry.
