Constructing a Sustainable Future #3

Collecting and sharing data throughout the life cycle INNOVATIONS THAT CREATE INTERFACES BETWEEN LINKS IN THE VALUE CHAIN These innovations, generally digital, facilitate the transfer of technical, contractual or financial information between stakeholders without disrupting the nature of existing relationships between customer, supplier and subcontractor. This avoids the need for multiple data entry, and ensures that information is well managed throughout the design, construction and operation cycle of a structure. These innovations, relatively simple to implement technically, nevertheless require that the stakeholders have prior understanding of the opportunities and risks associated with better data management. They also require mastery of digital technology and alignment with standards by everyone in the value chain if they are to deliver their full potential. DATA MANAGEMENT AND SHARING „ Dematerializing and sharing data on products and equipment in an existing building, especially before renovation „ Using BIM (Building Information Modeling) from the design of a building through to its use. Digital design is a prerequisite for sustainable construction, enabling a building to exist virtually before it exists in reality „ A “Building Operating System” to coordinate the operation of all the technical work packages of a building (elevator, heating/cooling, fluids, etc.) as well as usage (occupancy, opening/ closing of windows, control of blinds, etc.) in order to make the best predictive and preventive maintenance choices „ Solutions to dematerialize calls for tenders, to allow unequivocal price comparisons „ Adapting purchasing approaches to make informed choices that take into account carbon reduction in addition to the cost of materials 22
