Habitat Architecture Utilizing New Information Modelling Technology to Improve Sustainability

Minneapolis, MN, August 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Building Information Modeling (BIM) and sustainability are both hot topics in the AEC industry. These powerful trends are now converging as designers and contractors learn how to leverage modeling, analytical and simulation technologies to improve sustainable outcomes.

Habitat Architecture has introduced and adopted BIM technology as integral part of their architectural practice and as an ongoing commitment towards better and more environmentally conscience building design.

Many of the innovative companies that have been using BIM for several years are now measuring the positive impact on their projects and their business processes. These metrics confirm that users are experiencing real business value by implementing the tools and processes related to BIM. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is proving to be particularly valuable for addressing the complex systems, demanding construction schedules and cost pressures of multi-family housing projects. Across the US, project teams are finding increased efficiencies and improved outcomes by applying the tools and processes of BIM. Habitat Architecture is utilizing this relatively new technology towards better design as well as assisting the clients to visualize their projects prior to construction, in order to minimize errors as well as improve the client experience through 3D modeling.

Hamid Kashani – AIA, the president and principle architect at Habitat Architecture, expects the full implementation of the new technology as an everyday and integral part of their architectural practice to be within reach. “We are very excited to be a part of this revolutionary technology and look forward to full implementation and systematic implementation of the system, as part of our ongoing commitment towards more environmentally responsible and sustainable design.”

Habitat Architecture is a progressive architectural firm in Minneapolis, MN and has been involved with designing environmentally responsible buildings since 1991.
