ABOUT
Every building is an experiment, testing relationships between organization of space, materials, and human beings.
How can we accelerate the arrival of a sustainable world where every building is its best version?
How can we showcase our design strengths and find like-minded professionals and clients?
BIMbase was born out of a desire to evolve the built environment to a sustainable future, using a public and collaborative effort of sharing knowledge which will lead to a more open transformation to a sustainable world.
For this to happen, we must collaboratively share building information in a way that lessons about material usage, energy strategies and societal values can be duplicated and accessible for further iteration in a process as scientific and evolutionary as possible.
Increased capabilities of BIM allow for an untapped potential. By creating an extensive database of sustainability parameters of buildings, a comprehensive view of our built environment can be learned from, and implemented on a wide scale.
Most importantly, the database is for the use of all professions in the built environment, and by giving free and public access to information, a process of true transformation can occur.
FAQ
What about my Intellectual Property?
Given the .ifc file and input information from a designer about the building, it is analyzed and presented in a way that informs about material quantities, carbon footprint, thermodynamic and energetic qualities, functions, user types and the different values related to social sustainability.
The design specifics are not compromised and allow it to be evaluated and shared in a way that both protects the intellectual property of the designer, while at the same time allows strong conclusions to be made regarding its specific sustainable parameters.
Do I need to pay?
No, the information is free following the logic that the more you allow information to circulate, the higher the chances of improvement over time.
What do the keywords 'evolutionary' and 'iteration' mean?
Every building is an experiment, and the built environment is an evolution from one model to the next. In order to reach a high degree of sustainability across most of the built fabric on the planet, it is apparent that a more collaborative process must occur whereby each experiment is learned from and implemented further to the benefit of all humanity.
Defining projects in this way and leveraging their digital existence, allows them to evolve by iterating whole or partial aspects of sustainable design across the entire professional field involved with creating the built environment.
