Modern industries face challenges such as certifications and regulations, tight deadlines, and sustainability concerns that make planning and executing projects complicated. This is no different in the Architecture industry, where data and analytics are used to determine the most efficient, eco-friendly and safe way to design and create buildings and other structures.
Central Wire’s vast product capabilities support this industry, from durable and flexible Cables to premium alloys which stand the test of time.
This blog will explore some of the ways data influences and refines Architectural decisions, leading to the designs we see today, as well as where our product lines see application in this industry.
BIM Systems
BIM (Building Information Modelling) is a crucial analysis tool for creating and managing information about a building. They are collaborative building design technologies that enhance planning, design and delivery for Architects and Engineers. In an industry often faced with challenges such as huge costs, slow deliverables and a lack of collaboration, every level of employee involved in an Architectural project can be benefited by these systems.
BIM is a 3D model-based tool which provides a digital representation of a structure and its physical and functional characteristics. Team members gain valuable insight into space planning, design, construction and management, while ensuring each level of worker and stakeholders can understand what a building will look like, alongside construction steps, estimated costs and more.
Through the collection of data, increased transparency and careful analysis, the use of BIM models will aid in each step of an Architecture project, including:
Planning – BIM systems allow users to use real-world data to understand how a building will look in its natural environment.
Design – Complex design and scheduling are made easy with the tools in BIM systems.
Construction – BIM specifications and documents help to guide and simplify construction processes.
Operation – BIM information and asset data supports operations, maintenance, extensions and demolition.
Sustainability
Growing populations and the need for new housing is creating opportunities in the Architecture industry, while also raising concerns about sustainability and carbon emissions. Sustainable building practices and innovative technologies such as Biophilic Design and Adaptive Reuse are helping to limit Architecture’s carbon footprint. For more information on the functionality of some of these innovations, check out our blog on Sustainability in Architecture.
The analysis of data allows architects to incorporate environmental responsibility into their designs, knowing whether they will be meeting regulatory standards and client expectations for green Architecture. Tools such as energy performance modelling and carbon footprint tracking, as well as information on eco-friendly material decisions, allow data-driven Architecture projects to be as sustainable as possible and contribute to net-zero emission goals.
