Achieve Sustainable Construction

Sustainability regulations are increasingly complex raising the number of interfaces. Build in a collaborative virtual environment to comply with environmental regulations.

Reinvent the Construction Industry With Productization

Prefabrication isn’t enough. For true scalability and speed, learn why sustainable construction leaders need productization and virtual twins to unlock new value.

FACE NEW CHALLENGES

Sustainability regulations are increasingly complex.

Traditional construction design and delivery methods depend on inefficient, trade-centric processes and consider every development cycle a unique new project. Unfortunately, incrementally improving these existing systems will always fall short of our ambitious sustainability goals. An entirely new approach is necessary to collaborate more closely and much earlier in the process and meet increasingly stringent regulations.

To achieve sustainable construction, AEC collaborators must:

Design cradle-to-cradle systems

Reduce waste

Source locally

Analyze the full lifecycle impact

Build more efficiently

Innovate with energy-efficient building materials

ADOPT THE STRATEGY

Comply with dynamic local regulations to support the global goals

Productization. Design and build with integration-ready construction models. Productization is a sustainable and flexible approach to collaboration, project engineering, construction and commissioning.

Lifecycle analysis. Contribute data to a common model in a virtual environment. Build scientifically accurate models to run a whole new kind of simulation for lifecycle assessments required by regulations.

Cradle-to-cradle systems. Reveal new processes that minimize energy usage and waste, and reinvent sustainable performance at each stage of the delivery process. Encode newfound efficiencies across all projects in a portfolio by “designing from supply”.

Local suppliers. Simulate where and how products are fabricated and optimize the carbon footprint of a project. The use of regional microfactories can further reduce transportation waste.

Energy-efficiency. The performance of new materials and designs can be modeled in construction virtual twins to achieve net-zero and beyond.

EPISODE 4: OBJECTIVE: SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Creating a virtual twin of the tower meant its operations’ management could be conceptualized with carbon neutrality by design, from the earlier stage.

KG Constructions

Facade contractor KG Constructions introduced the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud and its Building Design for Fabrication industry solution experience allowing an increase in design, engineering and manufacturing efficiency. It saves the company about 30% of the time it would take using traditional methods.
