Spotting Emerging Trends
- Technological Advancements:
Key Emerging Technologies
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML):
- Generative Design: AI ‘performs parametric analysis on previous data and then generates more iterations that are designed to fit parameters such as energy efficiency, cost, sustainability or additional parameters’ that the user specifies.
- Predictive analytics: Even if it is a pilot, ML algorithms will figure out from historical project data what might have gone wrong, or what went particularly well, and how best to allocate resources if there is a future version.
Extended Reality (XR):
- Virtual reality (VR): vivid sensory immersion in proposals, where stakeholders can see and interact with designs in the virtual world.
- Augmented reality (AR): adds digital downstream data onto the physical world, and overwrites information on specific tasks being done (eg while building or maintaining a structure).
Building Information Modeling (BIM) Integration:
- BIM models: also include the fourth dimension, time, using tools such as BIM 4D to view the assembly sequence or project schedule within the BIM model.
- BIM 5D: Adding cost information to the 3D-BIM model, which enables cost estimation and budget tracking of the project.
Internet of Things (IoT):
- IoT devices and sensors: effectively monitor equipment utilization, weather, and environmental conditions,
- Remote Monitoring: The degree to which buildings operate efficiently – when considered about equipment maintenance or energy use – is made known to the owners, in real time, by connected IoT devices.
Cloud Computing:
- Collaborative Platforms: Cloud-based platforms enable real-time collaboration among project teams, regardless of location.
- Scalability: Cloud computing resources can be dynamically scaled to meet project requirements.
