For design, planning, and construction, the focus is on going green, with the market for sustainable buildings set to grow to 1312.12 billion by 2030. Architects design structures that blend into the environment. Planners look for materials from renewable sources, and construction teams worry about their carbon footprint. But what about facility managers? How can they “keep the green going” once the building is in operations and maintenance?
By leveraging BIM for FM, they can both make the most of existing sustainable elements while introducing new ones.
