Graphisoft, the leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software solution developer for architecture and multidisciplinary design, is a proud joint sponsor with its distributor (SIMBIM) of the buildingSMART 2024 International Summit in Valencia, Spain, March 12-15. Aimed at leveraging the power of OPEN BIM to achieve sustainability goals in the built environment, architects, engineers, contractors, software vendors and developers, consultants, product manufacturers, building owners, government officials, and other professionals will gather for educational sessions, workshops, industry collaboration, and information sharing.
Ensuring workflow transparency and the easy accessibility of data, OPEN BIM supports optimized collaboration amongst building team members.
“The buildingSMART international summit is a remarkable event that provides an open forum for OPEN BIM and open standards for digital transformation in the construction sector, and we are honored to sponsor it this year,” states Dr. Mohsen Shojaee-Far, PhD, MSc, B.Arch, CEO, SIMBIM, Barcelona, Spain.
Dr. Shojaee-Far’s management consulting practice helps users navigate BIM software solutions like Graphisoft and other Nemetschek offerings.
According to the United Nations Environment Program, the global building and construction industry contributed approximately 37% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2023. In addition to specifying sustainable building materials, more efficient digital workflows can reduce waste, transportation costs, and change orders.
Open standards are recognized as an essential strategy for achieving this. Governments, regulatory bodies, institutions, and building owners increasingly demand them. To support this need, the buildingSMART International Summit 2024 in Valencia, Spain, will explore strategies for supporting sustainable design and construction.
For example, “a solution that could help us achieve our green goals is a complete digital transformation and the creation of digital twins of our buildings’ environment, built upon open standards and OPEN BIM,” stated Dr. Shojaee-Far. “Sustainable development goals aim to promote environmental sustainability and equality.”
In addition to addressing digital twins, the event aims to advance asset management and a more connected data environment.
