BIM as enabler of circularity in construction

Description

Project ZIN in Brussels is a flagship example of how Building Information Modeling (BIM) can drive circularity and sustainability in large-scale urban redevelopment. Transforming the former World Trade Center towers into a vibrant mixed-use complex, ZIN combines offices, residential units, a hotel, retail, leisure, and a public greenhouse into one dynamic ecosystem. With over 60% of existing structures and materials reused, repurposed, or recycled, the project exemplifies the Cradle-to-Cradle approach and sets new benchmarks for resource efficiency. BIM serves as the digital backbone of this transformation—enabling transparent material inventories, lifecycle data management, and future adaptability of spaces. The lecture explores how BIM must evolve to become a true enabler of circularity: From greenBIM to reuse potential. ZIN demonstrates not only the revitalization of a district but also a blueprint for the future of sustainable, circular construction.

From Design to Data and back

26. November 2025 11:25 - 11:50
BIM World MUNICH 2025
Congress Stage 1

Englisch

Description

As an international design office operating in over 30 countries, we face the challenge of managing multiple delivery standards shaped by regional practices, client requirements, and varying scopes. These diverse factors have made implementing a single, uniform BIM and data standard across all our projects exceptionally challenging. To compare projects meaningfully and make sustainability a portfolio-wide driver, we must shift from project-specific practices to an organization-wide BIM and data standard that produces consistent, comparable data.

This talk presents strategies to turn fragmented information into reusable data that is relevant for future design decision. The vision is a shift from reporting towards early, comparable embodied-carbon assessments embedded in the design process.

EU-funded project: Circular Construction Finance – turning Circular Construction Hubs into scalable, bankable solutions.

27. November 2025 14:05 - 14:30
BIM World MUNICH 2025
Breakout Session 1

Deutsch

Description

The construction sector is a major driver of environmental impact. Circular construction offers a key solution by keeping materials and buildings in use longer, reducing the need for new resources. To make this approach work, we need to change how we plan and build, set clearer rules, and create the tools and systems that make reuse easy and practical for everyone.

Circular Construction Hubs are powerful tools in this transition – combining a physical storage space for reusable materials with a digital platform that connects supply and demand. They bring together cities, construction companies, waste managers, architects, and digital solution providers to build local reuse markets and make circular construction a practical reality.

To unlock their full potential, the Munich showcase is creating and turning a Circular Construction Hub into a scalable, bankable solution.

Keynote: CAD & BIM Integrated Solution: Empowering Energy-Efficient Design Workflows

27. November 2025 11:00 - 11:30
BIM World MUNICH 2025
Congress Stage 1

Englisch

Description

Sustainability starts with precision and efficiency. By integrating CAD and BIM workflows, designers can minimize rework, demonstrate and reasonably optimize that the building materials (critical factors in reducing carbon emissions in the AEC industry) meet the design expectations. This presentation would briefly share the development of BIM technology and its advantages in sustainable development as well as carbon reduction. Based on a case study, the presentation would also discuss the development of interoperable digital solutions to support both the green and digital transitions within the construction industry, demonstrate using IFC as the central data format—mapping CAM (Criteri Ambientali Minimi) data into a bsDD structure, and validating the information via IDS standards to support a fully open BIM workflow.

The AI-Powered Future of AECO: A Stronger Industry Ahead

26. November 2025 17:15 - 17:40
BIM World MUNICH 2025
Congress Stage 1

Englisch

Description

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry, unlocking new levels of efficiency, creativity, and resilience. From generative design and digital twins to predictive analytics and on-site automation, AI is bridging the gap between stakeholders and enabling a truly connected lifecycle, from concept to construction to operations.

In this session, industry leaders will explore how AI is reshaping workflows, strengthening collaboration, and driving sustainable outcomes across the built environment. Participants will gain insights into real-world applications, best practices for responsible adoption, and how AI can empower teams to deliver higher-quality projects faster, safer, and with greater environmental impact awareness.

BIM goes Green – integrierte digitale Tools im gmp Green Dialogue

Deutsch

Description

Nachhaltigkeit ist kein Add-on, sondern ein Grundwert architektonischer Qualität. Mit dem Green Dialogue stellen wir gmp’s Methodik vor, Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte systematisch und dialogisch in den Entwurfsprozess zu integrieren. Basierend auf Themenkarten zu ökologischen, sozialen und ökonomischen Aspekten ermöglicht der Green Dialogue eine strukturierte Auseinandersetzung mit Nachhaltigkeit – von der Auslobung über die Planung bis zur Projektdokumentation. Im Vortrag zeigen wir exemplarisch, wie diese Methodik in unserer Praxis angewendet wird. Unter anderem präsentieren wir ein von gmp entwickeltes, modellbasiertes CO₂-Berechnungstool, das auf Revit-Modellen basiert und eine schnelle frühe ökobilanzielle Bewertung im Vorentwurf erlaubt.

Description

Bei IES sind wir überzeugt, dass Digital Twins der Schlüssel zur Dekarbonisierung der gebauten Umwelt sind. Unsere Performance-Digital-Twin-Technologie kombiniert dynamisch-thermische Simulationen mit Echtzeitdaten, um ein physikalisch fundiertes, virtuelles Abbild zu schaffen – skalierbar vom einzelnen Gebäude bis hin zu Campus, Städten oder Portfolios. Dieses Abbild verhält sich wie das reale Gegenstück und liefert präzise Einblicke in die Gebäudeperformance – im Neubau wie im Bestand. So werden fundierte Entscheidungen möglich, um Energie zu sparen, Kosten zu senken und Netto-Null-Ziele zu erreichen.
