Presentation for the German Bundestag
BPS International together with the largest planner of engineering systems Caverion and the software manufacturer Autodesk presented BIM possibilities to the members of the German parliament.
This meeting can have a huge impact on the development of the whole construction branch in Germany. The experience of the invited experts and branch leaders shows obviously what immense prospects BIM technologies have while basing on such distinctive features as quality and efficiency in planning, construction and property management.
The main result of the meeting seems to be as follows: the relevant committees of the German Bundestag showed great interest in implementation and standardization of BIM technologies at state level. The use of innovative information technologies allows to open new horizons, to raise quality and efficiency, to modernize norms and standards.
One of the presentation focuses was to draw attention to the unique features of BIM in the field of energy efficiency. Through the use of BIM we can analyze the energy consumption on the earliest stages of the project development which is impossible within the frame of the traditional designing. With the help of BIM it is also possible to optimize space planning solutions, to simulate optimal solutions and to quickly make modifications not only in the course of project development but also while renovating and reconstructing the existing facility.
In the USA and Great Britain the state structures interested in tool optimization were the ones to push the development of BIM technologies. Now it is the turn of Germany to undertake these important steps.
The meeting was attended by the members of the German Bundestag –Mr. Hansjörg Durz and Mr. Stephan Kühn, the representative of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure Mr. Michael Herrscher and other officials.
