"BIM-6D"
A web application designed to calculate emissions of substances during construction.
About
BIM-6D is a web application for calculating emissions during construction, specifically designed to help professionals in the building industry make more sustainable decisions throughout the construction process and the building's operational lifespan.
Client's Request
The client approached us with the need for a software solution that would simulate Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the 6th Dimension (Sustainability). They required a platform capable of providing accurate carbon footprint calculations and energy consumption predictions, both during construction and for the building’s long-term operation.
Here’s What We Did
Our team created the DAR BIM6D software using the MERN stack, which allowed us to build a reliable platform for BIM modeling. The software was designed to handle two main tasks:
- Carbon Footprint Calculation and Prediction: We integrated features that estimate the environmental impact of a building throughout the construction phase.
- Energy Consumption Calculation and Prediction: We developed tools that forecast the energy consumption of a building throughout its operational years. To ensure real-time updates and smooth communication between the frontend and backend, we used Speckle and RabbitMQ. Additionally, we applied DevOps practices to enhance deployment and maintenance efficiency.
Here’s the Result
The resulting BIM-6D platform allows users to accurately predict a building’s carbon footprint and energy consumption, empowering architects, engineers, and contractors to make data-driven, eco-conscious decisions. By leveraging our expertise, we were able to create a seamless, sustainable tool that significantly contributes to the building industry's green transformation.
