BIM for carbon management

BIM for carbon management
The architecture, engineering, construction, and facility management (AEC/FM) sectors play a significant role in reducing global carbon emissions.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a key digital tool that can enhance carbon management by integrating data on materials, construction, and operations.
Despite its potential, challenges such as the need for comprehensive carbon data and seamless data interoperability persist.
Developing standardised methodologies for carbon data collection across a building’s lifecycle is crucial. Collaboration among all stakeholders and the integration of carbon management into BIM processes are essential to achieve net-zero targets and promote sustainability in the built environment.
