What is BIM for? Reducing wastage? Well, here we go. Lets make the CONSTRUCTION world GREEN. :-

Green Building is a comparatively new concept in the forum of Building Information Construction. Designers are planning the whole structure of BIM in a completely different way altogether. This has revolutionized the world of BIM. These new methods can cut on the expenditure and estimated time for the completion of a particular construction. Analytical studies incorporated into the early phase of designing is proving to be profitable for the project owners also.

Effectively using natural light sources have a great bearing on the cost cutting plans on the part of the client. Green BIM includes proper planning for the amount of resources to be used. That is the main

objective of the Green BIM system serving for the BIM industry. But, the concept of Green design is quite a new concept in the world of BIM and the idea is catching up with the need and requirements of the leading BIM service providers. The market has a strong liking for the green designs for construction.

Green design methods in the structuring of BIM models basically have the flexibility to embrace the services of certain softwares like, ECOTECT, IES, VIP, RIUSKA, etc. These are known as energy analysis softwares. Apart from being an useful tool for engineers, this system enhances cost effectiveness of the structure with the help of proper usage of thermal, solar and HVAC system. In Green constructions, BIM plays the role of a fulcrum, centering which, the all the other systems like, collision detection, other engineering applications revolve
