Construction produces a large share of the world's waste. 3D modeling and BIM (Building Information Modeling) help reduce part of it.
Less Paper
3D plans on tablets replace a lot of paper on job sites, and updates reach everyone at once, which helps avoid work based on outdated plans.
Material Calculation
A detailed 3D model lets teams estimate material quantities, such as cubic meters of concrete, more precisely, which reduces surplus that would otherwise be discarded.
Biophilic Design
Architects use computational design tools to explore complex organic shapes and simulate natural light and airflow, which can help reduce a building's energy use.
