The best thing to start with is building performance simulation. It can help Architects run multiple simulations with various materials and physical positioning as to how a building would function under different situations. This kind of choices made at very initial stage of deign can help converse the energy later on.

The beauty of BIM lies in computer simulations which help all those involved in project, understand how the building will behave long before it is constructed. Often heralded as a break-through invention; BIM is driving architects, engineers and for that matter, every stakeholder associated with the construction industry crazy!

Energy management system, it seems is an ideal solution to save energy at warehouse and distribution centers as well. How about if you can save up to 20% on energy bills without a prominent capital investment?

BIM has a distinctive ability to identify clashes, interventions and omissions before the construction work starts. BIM software like Navisworks simulates clash detection to allow assessment of risks, and plan mitigation strategies during the development process.

In the midst of Australia's housing affordability issue, prefabricated homes offer a solution. Experts believe that prefab housing is likely to decrease the cost of a new habitant by at least 10 per cent (excluding the purchase cost of land). Case studies of UK show savings of up to 10% to 15% in building costs and a 40% reduction in construction timelines. Manufacturing is more efficient, and factories don't lose time due to bad weather.
