The importance of digital tools and methods Dominga Garufi from Werner Sobek gave an interesting talk on Werner Sobek’s work with sustainability and BIM in relation to four interesting projects: - S21 - Stuttgart Central Station - P18 in Stuttgart - The Q in Nürnberg - Michailovsky Hotel in Tsbilisi in Georgia - White City pedestrian bridge in Baku in Azerbaijan Werner Sobek has established a BIM Task Force since 2017 that works together with other Task Forces in the company to align office-wide overarching standards and goals and align strategies for successful development of projects across various disciplines and stages. They e.g. use BIM as a key integral collaboration strategy from planning to execution.

3XN/GXN aims for a low-carbon future through the circular economy, transforming ‘waste’ into tomorrow’s buildings. Sam Sweeney just gave us a presentation on how 3XN/GXN works with different digital tools and emphasized that it is important to use the right program for the right task. He also talked about three inspiring projects, the QQT office building in Sydney where they saved 12000 tonnes of carbon by reusing a large portion of the existing building, and Euston Tower and Gracechurch in London.

Efficient LCA in renovation projects Digital tools like the Real-Time LCA free up time for in-depth sustainability analyses and can help identify areas for improvement. The impact we can make is huge and LCA can help with that. Giedre Skucaite from Lendager talked about a renovation project at Lersø Park Alle in Copenhagen where they have used digital tools to save emissions through e.g. material mapping. Martin Romby Hauge from Gaiup - Real-Time LCA then demonstrated the Real-Time LCA for us. It takes you from design to insights to reporting in very few steps.

Byggebranchen virker mere klar end nogensinde før til at tage imod de mange nye værktøjer, der i disse dage bliver præsenteret på BIM World Copenhagen. Interessen for de ca. 50 udstillerstande er stor for anden dag i træk, lyder det bl.a. fra Nicklas Østergaard, product manager, NBS Nordic: - I 15 år har jeg oplevet, hvordan branchen har udviklet sig fra stor modvilje til BIM, der kun blev taget i brug på enkelte projekter, til i dag, hvor alle projekter nyder godt af fordelene. Emil Quick, key account manager, Next One Technology er enig. Han ser dog forskelle på tværs af branchen: - Arkitekter og ingeniør er rigtig godt med, mens entreprenørerne i nogen omgang mangler viden. De er mere praktiske og kommer fra ”pen og papir”, kan man sige, men på ledelsesplan ved man til vigtigheden af at følge med udviklingen, og man er meget opsat på at vide mere. Bianca Balzer Giorsetti, regionsdirektør i Catenda, der har kontorer i både Norge, Tyskland, Frankrig, USA og Holland, siger: - Der er store forskelle på, hvor digitaliseringsparate markederne i Europa er. F.eks. er Norge – ligesom Danmark – langt fremme, mens Frankrig stadig er meget analog. Men generelt er interessen for data stigende. BIM World Copenhagen slutter i dag. #BIM #byggeri #digitalisering #Copenhagen #København #BIMWorld

Urban planning using data - the Gehl way We just heard how Gehl - Making Cities for People and Urban Partners use human-centric data to design thriving neighbourhoods Helle Søholt and Liselott Stenfeldt talked about how Gehl work with data and how they use a suite of methods and digital tools to gather thick data to understand people’s lived experiences in the city. They work with an app that they use in all of their projects across the cities they work in, so they can easily compare the data. In the app, they can track when people are moving and staying, and e.g. see if the space makes people feel safe, foster social activity, accommodate walking or biking etc. Jesse Shapins talked about SPOR10 in the Railway District in Copenhagen, where Gehl and Urban Partners have worked with inclusive community building and looked into the neighbourhoods and use of public space using data.

Have you heard about the (probably) biggest BIM project in the World? At BIM World Copenhagen, we just heard a very interesting talk about BIM and model-based projects and the Fornebubanen - the metro in Oslo Norway - by Signe Marit Dahl Lakså from COWI and Pål-Christian S. Njølstad from Novorender. The project is done without printed papers and drawings - it is all model-based. And that really impressed the audience.
