What is Green BIM anyway? Recessions reshape the construction industry Every 20 years, significant change takes place in the construction industry: 1970s:The ‘oil crisis’ and recession of the early 1970’s introduced the concept of designing for energy conservation. 1990s:The recession of the early 1990’s introduced widespread use of CAD and improved communications (fax, mobile phones etc) 2010sWhat will the recession of the early 2010’s bring?
What is Green BIM anyway? The carbon revolution In the near future, carbon will be as much a deciding factor on construction product and system selection as cost

‘The UK programme based on the BIS BIM Strategy is currently the most ambitious and advanced centrally driven programme in the world. The UK has a window of opportunity to capitalise on the success of its domestic programme and to take on a global leadership role in BIM exploitation, BIM service provision and BIM standards development.’ Patrick MacLeamy - Chief Executive Officer of HOK
What is Green BIM anyway? ‘The understanding and endorsement of building information modelling in the United Kingdom construction industry is as rapid as it is impressive. Due in large part to the inspired leadership of the Government's BIM Task Group, BIM is now key to the Construction Strategy and has catapulted UK construction to the forefront in BIM standards and adoption worldwide…’ Phillip G. Bernstein FAIA RIBA Vice President, Autodesk Strategic Industry Relations
Defining BIM and information
What is Green BIM anyway? NBS BIM Definition: A Building Information Model is a rich information model, consisting of potentially multiple data sources, elements of which can be shared across all stakeholders and be maintained across the life of a building from inception to recycling (cradle to cradle). The information model can include contract and specification properties, personnel, programming, quantities, cost, spaces and geometry. NBS, 2010 Confidential

Defining ‘Green BIM’
What is Green BIM anyway? The ‘green themes’: -Regulations and performance -Design versus actual – Carbon Buzz project -‘Embodied’ and ‘Operational’ carbon -New buildings and existing building stock – the Green Deal -Zero carbon – houses and offices -Minimising site waste -Maximising recycling and recycled content -Operational activity, recording and feedback
Effective design and visualisation What is Green BIM anyway?
Reducing site waste What is Green BIM anyway?
Reducing site waste – off-site construction What is Green BIM anyway?
Monitoring and evaluation What is Green BIM anyway?
Developing standards What is Green BIM anyway?
So what do we need - developing standards To improve manufacturer product selection, we need - Standards for product properties and their descriptions - Mapping of standards around the world - Effective testing against these standards To improve embodied carbon measurement, we need: - Standards for measurement of the product supply process To improve the forecast energy models, we need: - Performance in use data for on-site energy generation systems - Performance in use of the building construction types What is Green BIM anyway?
It starts with quality information…
Costs – monetary and carbon Co-ordinate the models and keep them co-ordinated -Design efficiency through collaboration of parties in the team -Reduce or remove prospects of late project delivery -Reduce or remove re-working of incorrect construction Source the most appropriate systems, products and materials Take guidance from respected and authoritative sources What is Green BIM anyway?
