Jointly Organized by EVD, AMC
and CAD
Programme Highlights:
Buildings bring
many environment impacts to our society, including energy consumption, carbon
emission, and waste generation. In the building and construction sector,
building information modeling (BIM) is a disruptive technology that is
increasingly used for design and construction of our built asset, resulting in
reduced error, enhanced communication, and improved automation and
productivity. To support green buildings, BIM not only provides 3D
representations that support model-based analyses, but also systematically
manages and integrates information, thereby enabling other emerging
technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT).
In this seminar, examples of integrating BIM with AI and IoT to support smart
green buildings will be presented. Opportunities and challenges will also be
discussed.
