Technology Driving Sustainable Construction

As BIM & technology is further adopted around the world, the inherent benefits to construction have become obvious to anyone involved. Whether it’s providing time savings, deeper project insights, reduced waste, or safer site conditions, the value is just waiting to be reaped. This class is meant to take a look at the value that technology provides and begin to think outside of the box. By compiling all of the other benefits and looking at them together, is there a common trend that emerges? Yes—efficiency. Technology driven workflows provide contractors and designers with exact quantities for materials extremely quickly, but way more importantly, models provide the right data, empowering intelligent, informed decisions. This improved decision making and precise information can reduce materials waste, reduce rework, and even reduce emissions produced by trucking things to the site. We will discuss all of this and more while we look at technology driving sustainability, including how industry leaders around the world are already seeing the benefits today.
